I'm not sure whether this should classify as a bug report.
Back to the topic. Lately, I have been annoyed by that, too. Maybe it's some recent change (or I just didn't notice it before). I concur, syncing something like MIME database that can be easily rebuild in case an unlikely filesystem corruption occurs seems kinda stupid.

It's a "feature". It happened on 1.1 -> 1.2 upgrade, and I believe that this commit may be the culprit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/commit/?id=b58fea97ee157951... You can try reverting it yourself and then rebuilding the package to see if this is the actual problem. If it is, I suggest you report bug to shared-mime-info maintainers (bugs.fd.o).
