There's more logic in KMimeType than you think ;-)
x-executable isn't only for .exe. It's for anything with the X bit, in fact.
  if ( !_is_local_file && S_ISREG( _mode ) && ( _mode & ( S_IXUSR | S_IXGRP | S_IXOTH ) ) )
    return mimeType( "application/x-executable" );

Hmm, so even a shellscript should match this, in fact, if it has the +x bits.
Might be that x-shellscript is for .sh files without +x bit
