When you upload a file, Zope somehow must determine the "content_type":

  *  if the upload specifies the content type explicitely, it is used

  *  otherwise, if the browser reports one, it is used

  *  otherwise, it is guessed guessed based on extension and
     content.

Apparently, something went wrong in your case.

Either correct the "content_type" manually
or check who is responsible (browser or guess).

If the guess is wrong, then from Zope2.7 on, you can
add additional "mime_type" declarations that control
content type guessing.
