Nor am I, however I did save your attachment to a file and could not
duplicate the behaviour you see, but this is with Mutt 1.5.5.1+cvs20040105i
on a mostly Sarge system. (Also, just tested on a home box with mutt
1.5.3i - no problem.)
Perhaps an upgrade of mutt would fix this?
I notice there is a backport of mutt 1.5.6 on backports.org.
