what version of shared-mime-info? These types are valid and included in the 1.9 release.

shared-mime-info 1.9-1

Checked desktop-file-utils, it doesn't use information from shared-mime-info to validate mimetypes, it has a builtin list.
The "solution" that Fedora applied is adding "&>/dev/null || :" to the update-desktop-database calls they use in their hook.

Perhaps it would be better to report the error to GNOME, no? What application do I report it to: gnome-font-viewer or desktop-file-utils?

desktop-file-utils is the one that gives an invalid warning. This is not a GNOME bug.
