I confirm this bug. 

What's worse, it seems to apply to *all* mime auto-typing based on
filename extension rules!

For me it appears in 1.1.23 as well as current trunk from SVN r5704.

I tested with *.ps and *.txt files. For *.txt files I used this modified
rule in mime.types

   text/plain    txt

instead of the original rule

   text/plain    txt printable(0,1024)

After restarting cupsd and attempting to print a *.txt file, I get
"client-error-document-format-not-supported" (in 1.1.23) or "Unsupported
format 'application/octet-stream'!" (in 1.3svn-r5704). A rule not using
the *.txt extension at all, just being set as

   text/plain    printable(0,1024)

does work just fine.
