I dunno, but I also got into LS database hell once, and it wasn’t fun.
From what I recall, rebuilding the database isn’t really reliable. Whether it lies, or doesn’t do it, or does something more complicated than you expect, I don’t know. Again from what I recall, the only solution was to go on a search and destroy mission locating every lurking copy of the app that remained on the system. Only when I found and destroyed the last one did the associations work properly.
Deleting your derived data folder is a key part of this, but you may find other copies of your app (from previous builds, test sessions, emails, etc) in unexpected places.
The fact that the Finder is mis-reporting the file type suggests to me that there are out-of-date copies of your app somewhere.
