First - I'd try a daily build:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/

to see if it works in master.  If no, probably you have to dig around
the mimetype registration:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/mimetypes

and other desktop files:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/menus

Interestingly I see the .fod* file types there, see eg.:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/mimetypes/oasis-text-flat-xml.desktop
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/menus/writer.desktop

Can you check if they are installed, used, etc.?

Thank you,
Kendy
