Bug Description

Running xfce4-mime-settings testcase ID 1581.
Last section tests changing "Open with:" setting in properties of file from Thunar. After changing a log file to open with AbiWord, if you open the MIME Type Editor and look at the setting for that type of file, it shows AbiWord as the Default instead of User Set. However, if you then set it back to default, it does set it back to the true default of Mousepad.
Verified that in Trusty, when you performed these steps, it did correctly show that the Open With property was "User Set".

Running the same testcase on today's Vivid Verver image, and at the last section of the test (... check that MIME Type Editor will correctly display a file association changed with another application) after right clicking the .log file in the file manager to select "Open with AbiWord" what I get in the step 2 is that The "Status" shows me "Default" and the "Default Application" shows me "Mousepad"

confirmed in updated vv

changing default in thunar previously set mimetype for log files to User Set - now remains as Default.

Changing application in mimetype editor does correctly change to User Set after change
