We're talking about the xfdesktop-ng code; the bug is in 
xdg-desktop-support, where the desktop-id for legacy dirs includes the 
subdirs as well, which it shouldn't (atleast if I understood the spec 
correctly), e.g.

  /usr/share/applnk/Utilities/qalculator.desktop

will result in kde-Utilities-qalculator.desktop, which isn't correct.
