Can you point me to some documentation that says that this usage of a MIME
type label, outside of a content-type header, is somehow invalid or
incorrect?

In RFC 2045, we have the following:

   The purpose of the Content-Type field is to describe the data
   contained in the body fully enough that the receiving user agent can
   pick an appropriate agent or mechanism to present the data to the
   user, or otherwise deal with the data in an appropriate manner. The
   value in this field is called a media type.

So, if something is not specified in the content-type field, it is 
not a media type :-)
