The actual wording comes from the magic file. It is possible, but I cannot really see why, that Arch Linux have changed the wording in the magic file for their distro.
For the moment there is not much we can do about this. I have put a fix into the CVS version of RKH based on what has already been seen, and I may take a quick look at Arch to see what they have done. But it may well be that we simply need to wait until other systems have upgraded and see what happens (if anything).
