patch, works fine for me

# LANG=C lsinitrd /boot/initramfs.img 
/boot/initramfs.img: 0
========================================================================

gzip: /boot/initramfs.img: not in gzip format

gzip: /boot/initramfs.img: not in gzip format
cpio: premature end of archive
========================================================================

# file /boot/initramfs.img 
/boot/initramfs.img: symbolic link to `/boot/initramfs-3.2.12-gentoo.img'
# file /boot/initramfs-3.2.12-gentoo.img
/boot/initramfs-3.2.12-gentoo.img: XZ compressed data
# lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-3.2.12-gentoo.img # works fine

The problem is in lin 37 of /usr/bin/lsinitrd:
FILE_T=$(file "$image")

Attached patch solves it for me.
