This was indeed added upstream:

<https://github.com/file/file/commit/6876ebadcdf27224b3ffa9dfa4343127aa97c9b2>
This exansion feature ${x?(...):(...)} was added just in the preceeding
commit. So the executable bit of the file indeed affects the detection
now. While personally I'm not too happy about that, I think it was the
worse idea to work around this in file permanentely by reverting that
change.
