I checked new magic for linguist type in current git and saw no problem. The new magic alone does not prevent video/mp2t files to match linguist type. But it does not interfere with my patch either. Together with my patch video/mp2t still are recognized reliably.

I did not check if true application/x-linguist files are affected by my patch, because I have none. But I am pretty sure that this is not the case, because the magic in my patch is quite restrictive. And to verify this I pulled the source of shared-mime-info (including all its test-files) into an Ubuntu Live-CD and then I did:

  $ sudo find /bin /boot /etc /home /lib /opt /root /sbin /tmp /usr /var \
     -xdev -type f -exec mimetype \{\} \; | grep video/mp2t

This showed no false positives.
