I think you are running into this libmagic bug

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500734

We don't yet have a fix that will work on both older and newer versions of 
libmagic, but you could hack your copy of the source to only work on new 
versions in order to get it working.

I just upgraded the severity of the bug to Release Critical, hopefully 
someone will come up with a fix.
