It's obviously just one, none of the 20 others I just checked:

In GNU Emacs 23.3 I get, when typing v on the file in dired:

        Type C-c C-c to view the image as text.
        File local-variables error: (error "Malformed -*- line")
        Type C-c C-c to view the image as an image.
        Reverting buffer `Arbeit'.
