The bug is now fixed in Debian upstream (revision 378, thanks to user "slomo"):
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-freedesktop/trunk/shared-mime-info/debian/patches/061_tex-matlab.patch?view=log

It is not (and probably never was) present in the Freedesktop sources:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/tree/freedesktop.org.xml.in

Title:
  Magic for text/x-tex broken

Status in shared-mime-info package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The magic for text/x-tex in Ubuntu 15.04 is broken as it assigns
  text/x-tex to any text file which contains the word "section",
  "chapter" or "documentclass" within the first 100 characters.

  This behavior is fixed if one adds backslashes to the appropriate
  match values in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml (.in)
  (see attached patch).

  Edit: You can reproduce this bug as follows.

  Is (output on Ubuntu 15.04):
  user@host:/tmp/mime$ dpkg -s shared-mime-info | grep "Version"
  Version: 1.3-1
  user@host:/tmp/mime$ sed '30568,30638!d' /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
