I am using jboss-4.2.1.GA as my application server and jbossesb-4.6. for my ESB. This does not seem to be a configuration specific issue. I believe that the issue is in the jboss-remoting.jar that comes with the application server. This is where the override content type happens. I also checked newer versions of remoting and it looks like this is still handled in the same way.
 
Take a look at org.jboss.remoting.transport.coyote.CoyoteInvoker (line 423 and 424)
String responseContentType = responseObject == null ? req.getContentType() : WebUtil.getContentType(responseObject);
res.setContentType(responseContentType);
 
and the WebUtil looks like this:
 
   public static String getContentType(Object param)
   {
      if(param instanceof String)
      {
         return HTML;
      }
      else
      {
         return BINARY;
      }
   }
 
So if your payload is String, it will always be text/html. This is causing issues when you use JBR Gateway with web services where text/xml is expected.
