Hah. I was entirely wrong as to the specifics. I went browsing in my
/usr/share/misc/magic and found:
# .COM formats (Daniel Quinlan, [EMAIL PROTECTED])
# Uncommenting only the first two lines will cover about 2/3 of COM files,
# but it isn't feasible to match all COM files since there must be at least
# two dozen different one-byte "magics".
#0 byte 0xe9 MS-DOS executable (COM)
#0 byte 0x8c MS-DOS executable (COM)
# 0xeb conflicts with "sequent" magic
#0 byte 0xeb MS-DOS executable (COM)
#0 byte 0xb8 MS-DOS executable (COM)
# miscellaneous formats
0 string LZ MS-DOS executable (built-in)
#0 byte 0xf0 MS-DOS program library data
So it's a built-in for variant DOS .COM executables.

Ouch! Those are exactly the emails one doesn't want to miss.
I would suggest the crudest but simplest solution is to patch your
"magic" strings configuration file for the file executable - just hunt
down and remove the part that matches the initial 'LZ'. Hopefully you
are using a well-documented OS distribution where it will not be too
hard to find the location of the "magic" file, or enough info to edit
the format. (Try "man magic" as a starting point.)
