The interesting difference between the working/nonworking traces is
where lynx uses the mime information to decide how to display the
document:

HTFormat: Constructing stream stack for desc=compiled to www/present ((null))
HTFormat: Looking up presentation for desc=compiled to www/present
HTFormat: comparing text/* and desc=compiled for half match
HTFormat: comparing text/* and desc=compiled for half match
HTFormat: comparing text/* and desc=compiled for half match
HTFormat: comparing text/* and desc=compiled for half match
HTFormat: comparing */* and desc=compiled for half match
StreamStack: found strong subtype wildcard match: */*
HTFormat: comparing */* and desc=compiled for half match
StreamStack: found strong subtype wildcard match: */*
StreamStack: found weak wildcard match: www/present
StreamStack: Using www/present
StreamStack: Returning "FileWriter"

The trace doesn't show the contents of the mime-types files, but I suppose
that's a good place to look for "desc=compiled":

HTFileInit: Loading default (HTInit) extension maps.
HTLoadExtensionsConfigFile: Loading file '/etc/mime.types'.
LYTildeExpand ~/.mime.types
expanded path /home/tfoerste/.mime.types
HTLoadExtensionsConfigFile: Loading file '/home/tfoerste/.mime.types'.
