Perhaps the libmagic code is broken, yes. Usually the issue is new definitions, which
are increasingly using *RE patterns. If so, then using a known good version of
	/usr/share/misc/../file/magic
might help.

Meanwhile, rpm has the undocumented --rpmmgdebug which should
display how rpm rpmbuild is using libmagic.
