Fixed in kdelibs 5552b1f68348ff5a5cc4a20b661a1ba3ad7bafe2: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/revisions/5552b1f68...
After a little more search, turns out it was just registered as a helper for a kde 3.x plugin which hasn't been provided for quite a few major releases. It also seems to be where it originated from in the first place.

Odd, I'm on KDE but my shortcuts are all application/x-ms-shortcut (Natty).
I had a quick search through the kde sources and it seems KDE might be forcing x-win-lnk for some windows-specific behaviour. At least it's there in a bunch of tests, but no app seems to actually use it.
I'll file a bug with KDE and see what else references it. Should the commit be reverted or is it a case of fix-it-upstream?

I'm not sure this patch is correct: on my Debian Testing machine application/x-win-lnk is defined in /usr/share/mime/packages/kde.xml which comes from the kdelibs5-data. I also found a reference to this package in the kdebase-runtime Fedora 11 runtime.
I found it on /usr/share/mime/packages/kde.xml on Slackware 13.37 as well. It's included in kdelibs package.
