According to "man file" this is due to different magic files
being used:

     -i      Causes the file command to output mime type strings rather =
than
             [...] and makes use of an alternative
             magic file.  (See FILES section, below).

FILES
     /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc   default compiled list of magic numbers
     /usr/share/misc/magic       default list of magic numbers
     /usr/share/misc/magic.mime  default list of magic numbers, used to =
output
                                 mime types when the -i option is =
specified.
