And the download page says that the current version of the legacy code
base (4.32.4) has support for detecting the new header. From that src
there is this:
,----[ lzma-4.32.4/extra/magic/lzma.magic ]
| 0x00 ustring \xFFLZMA\x00 lzma compressed data,
| >0x06 ubyte&0x10 0x00 single-block stream
| >0x06 ubyte&0x10 0x10 multi-block stream
`----
So it looks like they have it covered.
(For those looking at their git repos, I only find the magic file in
the legacy repo <git://ctrl.tukaani.org/lzma-utils-legacy.git> and not
in the new codebase <git://ctrl.tukaani.org/lzma-utils.git>.)
