bent tells me that sicking asked for this to be removed in bug 649537 as part of a larger plan to remove it from the spec.  OK, but (i) this breaks some part of the web; and (ii) it's still present in main-thread XHR, against spec.  This looks like a difficult battle to me, for what gain?
For what it's worth, I don't think I've asked for overrideMimeType to be removed (I did say that .multipart shouldn't be implemented as it's not part of the spec).

So yes, I suspect we need to implement this. I think that we should make it throw if called after .send() is called though since we can't implement it in a non-racy fashion after .send() is called.

FWIW, I added a no-op overrideMimeType() and this page is still broken.  Might be separate bustage.
Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
This adds overrideMimeType back to worker XHR, with the caveat that we'll throw after Send() is called like we discussed on irc. I added a hefty comment explaining the problem. Also, I removed mozResponseArrayBuffer since it shouldn't have been there any more.
