Views UI broken for binary documents

1. Create default bucket - load it with binary documents
2. Create a design doc 'dev_test' and a view 'test' under it
3. Click on the view in UI
4. Results page does not show any documents or results - we just see ajax spinner going on forever - 404 errors seen on inspecting the page in the browser

Issue does not happen while dealing with json documents - results are shown in UI as expected

REST API works fine for both json and binary docs

Works in 5.1.3 - broken since 5.5.0
