Thank you for your bugreport and willing make free software better!

I can't reproduce that.
$import file.tiff
$ file file.tiff 
file.tiff: TIFF image data, little-endian

Please could you please check fresh version from rawhide?

Sorry, was my mistake: using "import x.tiff" instead "import x.tif" will solve my problem.

Please excuse for trouble.

Remark:

Reading the page http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php, especially the description for the tiff tag, one could assume that .tiff and .tif are equivalent for identifying a file type. This was the reason for my "mistake" :-)

TIFF	RW	Tagged Image File Format	Also known as TIF.

Nothing about "tif" also may be used as tag format.
