Git doesn't know about any file extensions by default. Its default "is
it binary" test looks for NUL bytes in the first 8k or so of the file.
I'd expect your DLL would probably have such a NUL byte.

Is it possible you have other .gitattributes set which are confusing
things?

You might try:

  git check-attr --all <path>

or:

  git ls-files --stdin | git check-attr --stdin --all
