Fixed in file-5.12-6.mga3, but this is a bit more interesting...

If you actually look at that commit, you see:
-# $File: assembler,v 1.1 2011/12/08 12:12:46 rrt Exp $
+# $File: assembler,v 1.2 2012/10/31 18:41:42 christos Exp $

But the file in the tarball already reflects the v 1.2 christos (who is the
one who made this commit), while the rest of the contents of that file reflect
the previous version, aka the rest of that commit isn't applied in the tarball.

Anyway, I verified that fixing this fixes the detection for /usr/bin/automake.
