I have seen this application/plain mentioned with .text suffix in some sources. Is it valid and has it been used anywhere? Or is this just a case where someone compiled a list and others just copied it?

I think you have described text/plain
and .txt
suffix. It has been there since 1992, so you should be fine with using it.

It isn't a valid MIME type according to the IANA: http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/index.html
Sadly, that doesn't mean you won't encounter it in the real world. ;-)
