the following:
http://entropymine.com/jason/testbed/mime/oct/file.zip
offers the Downloading dialog and not the save as
the server sends: Content-Type: application/octet-stream

http://entropymine.com/jason/testbed/mime/oct/file.txt
takes about some weird:
"Text File" [application/octet-stream]
when in fact it's plain:
"application/octet-stream"

We should give the user an option to open the data in a helper app of choice
instead of just saving. For example, I often want to open random files in
emacs, including files served as application/octet-stream.
Also, many servers are misconfigured and send application/octet-stream for
various kinds of data for which the user may know the type and may want to pick
a helper (web storage things are notorious for this).
I suggest this be marked wontfix.
I'll go you one better: INVALID.

mass-verification of Invalid bugs.
if you don't think the report is invalid, please check to see if it has already
been reported (it might be a duplicate instead). otherwise, make sure that there
are steps (a valid test case) that clearly display the issue as an unexpected
defect.
