I am not a fan of addressing this as it requires a new view with a different mimetype when all a person has to do now is file->save as

Having said that the bug itself is legit but definitely low priority.

It'd be easy to add &dl to the query string and adjust the mimetype on the fly I think.  Agreed on p5 though.
