I found out the following: after deleting any entries for "any/any" and 
"application/x-shellscript" in the mime databases (see below), the 
scripts started to work again. It seems that the Script-Folder-Logic not 
only checks the executable permission, but also the default action for 
shell scripts. If the default action somehow maps to an editor, the 
scripts do not show up.

The files I modified:

~/.gnome/application-info/user.applications (for gedit, which I had 
associated with .sh files) ~/.gnome/mime-info/user.keys
~/.gnome/mime-info/user.mime
