looking at the icons shown in the directory view, I'd make a wild guess that the
server thinks that they're text files, is serving them as text/plain, and Moz is
taking the server's word for it.  Is anyone in a position to check this?

This was a missing line in the mime.types file after we did a server update. Sorry!

FIXED now.
