Thanks for linking these. So, the proximate cause of this issue is
that the underlying file(1) utility reports these as Android packages:

    $ file v0.1.0.0_LDK-release.aar v0.1.1.0_LDK-release.aar
    v0.1.0.0_LDK-release.aar: Android package (APK), with AndroidManifest.xml
    v0.1.1.0_LDK-release.aar: Android package (APK), with AndroidManifest.xml

In general, diffoscope basically has to trust what file(1) reports and
proceed on that basis. We used to work around its bugs, but as you can
imagine, that became something of a game of whack-a-mole...

In the first instance, just to confirm that file(1) is at fault here? As
in, these are definitely not Android packages. :)
