yes there is sometimes a problem with file.

The issue is that the payload in linuxbios rom is an elfimage, so that the 
first couple bytes of the romimage fool the file command.

This is why the idea of a 'file' command is suspect. In some OSes the file 
type was a tag in the file metadata (inode to Unix types).
