as I'm not sure about the complete nature of your bug report, I have
to ask for clarification.
A part of your report is that file's description of
md5:ef44b2a63d39af69720be530e46a75fc (your second example) changed
between jessie and stretch as follows:
-Netpbm PBM image text, size = 82541 x 20, ASCII text
+Netpbm PPM image data, size = 82541 x, bitmap, ASCII text
However I cannot reproduce the problems with lesspipe you've reported,
Could you please provide a reproducer for that? Do you use some
non-standard/hand-crafted .lessfilter? The less package doesn't depend
on file so I cannot see how file(1) is involved here.
Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in fixing this. But I'd like to see
it with my own eyes first.
