Curious behaviour...

Anyway, you could still "force" it. Just open ID's "plist" file and copy all
needed CFBundleTypeExtensions and CFBundleTypeOSTypes into your own "plist"
file (into CFBundleDocumentTypes). Such as:

    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
            <array>
                <string>*</string>
                <string>AAAA</string>
                <string>BBBB</string>
            </array>
            <key>CFBundleTypeOSTypes</key>
            <array>
                <string>****</string>
                <string>XXXX</string>
                <string>YYYY</string>
                <string>ZZZZ</string>
            </array>
            <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
            <string>Editor</string>
        </dict>
    </array>

This way "should" work (but it should work without this workaround, as well,
so maybe it won't work after all ;-)
