This is unlikely to be a bug in baobab. It might be a bug in GLib, or
xdg-mime, or whatever you used to set the default in Xfce4.

If you install the libglib2.0-bin package and run

    gio mime inode/directory

what does it say?

What is the value of the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP and XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment
variables?

What is in ~/.config/${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}-mimeapps.list, if that
file exists? (Use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of ~/.config, if set)

What is in ~/.config/mimeapps.list, if that file exists?

Do any files matching /usr/share/applications/*.list exist on your
system? If they do, what is their contents?
