Could you take this up with the maintainers of the file package, 
Mark Moraes <moraes@deshaw.com> and Christos Zoulas 
<christos@deshaw.com> and let us know when there's an updated 
distribution which addressed this issue?

Reminder for myself to close it when the import is done.

I am working on preparing the file 3.28 import (which fixes this problem 
btw).

A new file, which supports this recognition, has been imported in: 
4-STABLE and CURRENT. 

I hope to get some time soon to MFC it to 3-STABLE.
