file types and UTIs don't mix in choose file

In choose file, I'd like to specify a wide range of types. If I say
{"public.plain-text"} I can get a pretty wide range, but not old SimpleText
read-only docs. If I say {"public.plain-text", "ttro"} it doesn't work. If I
say {"TEXT", "ttro"} it does work. From this I conclude that if you try to
mix UTIs and four-letter file types you get your hand slapped. Is this a
bug? m.
