This is a bug in the latest file 5.18 release.
It got fixed the day after the release:
https://github.com/file/file/commit/af7c95ec08af7bf7e5f03fb38af8e14b64116123
There are a bunch of other fixes committed since the 5.18 release, too:
https://github.com/file/file/commits/master
You could compile the latest git version if you don't want to wait for a new release.
