It looks like there was a mime type definition in ~/.local/share/mime/application/x-extension-jpg.xml with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info" type="application/x-extension-jpg">
<!--Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!-->
  <comment>jpg document</comment>
</mime-type>


After moving this file, I can open jpg files fine.  I am not sure what could have installed this, as I am using a fairly stock Ubuntu install (Breezy upgraded to Dapper), and I cannot recall installing any programs for opening JPGs besides the ones included in the normal install.

I don't know if it is relevant, but here are answers to the rest of your questions: 

$ gnomevfs-info --slow-mime image.jpg
Error: File not found

$ gnomevfs-info image.jpg
Error: File not found

> Does running "sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" makes a difference?

No.

Thanks for the help.  Sorry if I wasted your time on this one.
