no - looking at the changes for dev.5, I don't see any that should have
altered this behavior.  It sounds like a bug, then.

Changes related to mailcap in dev.5:

* modified mailcap command and testcommand substitutions to provide for
  running the testcommand's after program initialization (prompted by review
  of Debian #167200, which gave as example a mailcap using %{charset} in the
  test commands) -TD
