It did here. I upgraded to 3.5.5 I think the day after it was released.
On starting KDE (from a CLI login not from xdm/kdm/gdm/whatever), I get a
bunch of complaints about undefined mimetypes similar to those above, but
everything continues to work. I think the problem is that nearly all my
menu entries are customized, and of course those don't change with the
installation, so as mimetypes change or get reassigned, my menu entries
have gone stale and no longer correspond with KDE's entries. However,
everything still works. The only thing that might have happened is that a
few of my filetype/mimetype associations got set back to the default, and
when I click them and the wrong thing pops up to open them, it's simple
enough to reconfigure it to the order I prefer once again.
