Comment (by ralph@…):

 But it does not happen with the built in file, so I suspect it may have
 something to do with the way macports builds it (although these are
 different versions, I admit):

 $ /opt/local/bin/file /Development/chmod-g-as-u
 /Development/chmod-g-as-u: ERROR: line 163: regex error 17, (illegal byte
 sequence)
 $ /usr/bin/file /Development/chmod-g-as-u
 /Development/chmod-g-as-u: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable
