As Rick very correctly and clearly explained to you, it isn't. It is
your file command that is to blame for this missdetection.

Either stop using it (and thus the Filetype Rules), or try determine
what exact bytes make file command determine it is a "MS-DOS
executable (com)" (or whatever it found it to be)... Know that some
versions of the file command (or perhaps rather some version of the
magic file) are very ... optimistic... when deciding this. When you
know what lines in your magic file is responsible for the
misdetection, you could just comment it/them out.
