Do you have QLStephen or another QuickLook plugin that might try to create a preview for no-extension files? If you can QuickLook the file in Finder, this isn't the issue.
If this is the issue, my guess is that the TrueCrypt volume header looks like valid ASCII for the first however many bytes `file` looks at to guess the encoding, while your example 10GB file doesn't—so in the one case it's trying to interpret it all as ASCII text, while in the other case it just gives up. This is just the first thing that came to mind, it could easily be something completely unrelated.
