The bug is at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48193
The only thing I could do was to tag it as 'obsolete', which doesn't stop  
Google from indexing it.
I could also change the file name and MIME type, but not remove it :(
It still pops up first when Googling for 'Magnus Hildershavn', and the  
'Show HTML' still shows the formatted original file :(
I've been on several closed and open beta teams through the years, but I  
have never ever before seen any of my attached/posted example files  
popping up on Google!
IMO it is not a good policy to make such files available to robots.
