of course, this media type is wrong, but out of curiousity, what mechanically went wrong when you GOT

There was a broken .htaccess (courtesy of me, no doubt) in i18n:
[[
<Files ~ ".*.ttl">
ForceType "text/plain; charset=utf-8"
</Files>
<Files ~ ".*.rq">
ForceType "application/sparql-query; charset=utf-8"
</Files>
]]

I created one for data-rq that appears to fix things:
[[
<Files ~ ".*\.srx$">
ForceType 'application/sparql-results+xml'
</Files>
<Files ~ ".*\.ttl$">
ForceType 'application/x-turtle'
</Files>
<Files ~ ".*\.rq$">
ForceType 'application/sparql-query'
</Files>
]]

and it appears to:
[[
$ for U in http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/data-r2/{algebra/two-nested-opt.{ttl,rq,srx},i18n/kanji{.ttl,-01{.rq,-results.ttl}}}; do echo -n $U && (HEAD $U | grep ^Content-Type: | sed s/^Content-Type://1); done
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/data-r2/algebra/two-nested-opt.ttl application/x-turtle
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/data-r2/algebra/two-nested-opt.rq application/sparql-query
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/data-r2/algebra/two-nested-opt.srx application/sparql-results+xml
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/data-r2/i18n/kanji.ttl application/x-turtle
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/data-r2/i18n/kanji-01.rq application/sparql-query
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/data-r2/i18n/kanji-01-results.ttl application/x-turtle
]]

Note that the media type for turtle is not yet registered and is subject
to much text/ debate:

so it may change underneath you (as expected for x- media types).
