Description

wp-includes/functions.php

line 2286

$mimes = apply_filters( ...
...
'ico' => 'image/x-icon',
...)

this is an erroneous label for ico file.
the right one is: 

$mimes = apply_filters( ...
...
'ico' => 'image/vnd.microsoft.icon',
...)

I just checked a bunch of major websites, all serve .ico as image/x-icon

Windows itself uses image/x-icon and always has. The "vnd.microsoft.icon" may be what IANA says, but it's not actually used by anybody.
