Hrm, I still can't reproduce this, let's see if we can find out if it's
something with nautilus or shared-mime-info.

Install xdg-utils and try this command;

        xdg-mime query filetype SpaceMonger.exe

It should say application/x-executable.

Also try 

        xdg-open SpaceMonger.exe

It should launch the file with Wine.

There's also a couple of other things you could try;

* See if you have any local customisations made to the mime database in
~/.local/share/mime

* Make sure the mime database is up to date, run as root;

        update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

* Temporary add a new user to your system and see if you can reproduce
this with a fresh setup.
