This discussion made me curious, so I executed mdls on a .tex file. Here is what I get:

    "org.tug.tex",
    "public.text",
    "public.data",
    "public.item",
    "public.content"
)

kMDItemFSTypeCode              = ""
kMDItemKind                    = "TeX Document"

kMDItemPhysicalSize            = 4096


By the way, after updating to 10.8.4, rebuilding the launch services database, and restarting, my icons did reappear and continue to display correctly.
