Seems to have been fixed on master:
1. emacs -Q
2. M-x eww RET https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html RET
3. C-s extra pdf RET RET
This opens the "Specialized Emacs Features" manual in a *eww pdf* buffer
in doc-view-mode.
With PDF Tools and the mailcap-user-mime-data setting above installed,
it opens in pdf-view-mode instead.
I'm surprised the setting for mailcap-user-mime-data is needed though,
since pdf-view-mode appears before doc-view-mode in both
mailcap-mime-data and my version of auto-mode-alist.
Lars?
