There are several bugreports filed on KDE about this, see:
http://bugs.kde.org/simple_search.cgi?id=file+associations

It may very well be that this problem is indeed caused by the switch to XDG 
menus, but it's not an inherent feature of XDG menus, it most likely means 
that your distribution sets the paths for the XDG menus in the wrong order: 
In that case the system settings override the settings made by the user 
instead of the other way around.

Unfortunately you do not mention which distribution you use.

Cheers,
Waldo
