No, the " *mm*" buffer isn't killed by `mailcap-save-binary-file';
it's the "*mm*" buffer that's killed.

The latter function is also put into the handle for future automatic
destruction, but that doesn't hurt.  There is no policy for whether
"external" viewers should kill the buffer it works in after it's done
-- if the viewer deems is handy, it does, and if not, it's cleaned up
automatically later.
