Jeff, thanks for the report.  A few questions:

1.  What version of ViewVC are you using?
2.  What operation are you performing that you'd expect to yield a
download of the file but does not?  Can you include a URL to your server
(feel free to obfuscate the domain name and path details if you must)
that exhibits the problem?
3.  What informs your statement "we can see it has an associated MIME
type"?  If ViewVC telling you that (perhaps in its display of the file's
contents)?
4.  Is this a problem that's universal across browsers?  Or are you only
using a single browser to test this, and if so, which one?

This information should help us get to the bottom of your concern.  Thanks!
