I don't know how mime_helper might fit in.  The lynx invocation is still
my pick for the root cause but you said you're not clear on how it is
involved.

I would do this if you haven't already:
1. download nmh HEAD, build, and install somewhere
2. move your $(mhpath +)/mhn.defaults
3. move your profile and create one with just a Path: entry
4. run the "mhfixmsg -file original_copy -out -" from 1. and see if the
   output looks good or bad

If it's good, then start adding things back in one at a time in reverse
order (starting with mhfixmsg switches) until it's bad.  If it's bad to
begin with, then I'm missing something (because I don't see the problem
here).
