Same here with file(1) version 5.22 from the Debian jessie package repo. I'd be interested to know in which versions this kind of thing actually works.

My first guess would be "the MacOS one", since from what I have heard, MacOS tends to have older (sometimes much older) versions of basic system utilities. I don't have a MacOS machine nearby to check, so this is just a guess.
