It is because builtin libmagic is picked up.

Workaround:
USE_BUILTIN.file=       no

Really:
Change sysutils/file/builtin.mk to detect version of builtin file package
if you are really want to avoid pick up old builtin version.

I don't know you File::Magic module, but why you can not use 
misc/p5-File-MMagic?
