Yes, apparently a problem with file(1).

File(1) seems to label any file that starts with LZ as an 
executable.  I don't know if this is an actual bug or not.

(try it! way cool!).
%  echo LZ > foo
%  file foo
foo: MS-DOS executable (built-in)

When amavisd-new split your message into individual mime parts, one 
of the text segments started with LZ.  File(1) labeled it as an 
executable and banned that "attachment".
