I've updated the package to 0.28 and opted to disable testing altogether.

Thanks for reporting it.
Actually, many tests in this package are extremely shitty. They are in fact tailored for a full Ubuntu installation, and they query information from the whole system.
I suspect that is the problem in this MimeType 'msword' vs 'wps-office.doc' error.
Another test seeks to find the icon file of the system-installed Firefox, and if someone does not have that, it will fail.
Arch actually don't even test the Python 3 version of this library at all.
My preferred approach would be to blacklist (skip) known-unstable tests, like those that rely on system data, not testdata.
In general I am in favor of using testing for AUR builds, especially if (1) they are not extremely resource-intensive and (2) if they are self-contained and reproducible.
Also (3) I strongly prefer testing in case of legacy packages, because upstream support / testing might be missing, so user-side build verification might be the last remaining line of defense against incompatible dependencies or misconfigurtions etc.
As for this package, it violates point (2) above: its tests are not reproducible because the testcases are not self-contained.

check()
fails for me withAssertionError: 'wps-office.doc' != 'msword'
