This bug was fixed in the lintian_bugfixes.mbox attachment I sent in
<[email protected]>.
And your way to fix it still breaks if there's a file with a semi colon
followed by the word "ELF" (you can confirm that by using your
collection/strings script on the test case I added on the same mbox).

Failure message is:
collection/strings: 40: cannot create strings/./usr/lib/bar::ELF/: Is a
directory
+warning: collect info strings about package strings-elf-detection failed
+warning: skipping check of binary package strings-elf-detection
