LYNX-DEV FTP URL with ;type=I

A few daze ago, I tried using the FTP URL with ;type=I for the first time.
As  my ISP had only Lynx 2.5, I ran into problems. This morning my ISP
installed Lynx 2.7.1 (on a unix system) and I tried again. You can see my
test below.

Both instances of ;type=I result in plain/text, instead of binary being used.
In addition, the last case causes the ;type=I to be included in the
filename when I Download.

For various reasons, I cannot include these files in my www page, where I
could use .htaccess to get around the problem.

Somebody had informed me that the problems I had seen with version 2.5 were
fixed in version 2.6 (according to changelog). I do not have a copy of
changelog, but I guess there are still problems, or am I incorrectly using
the ;type=I option?
