Actually it was calling LoadLibraryEx() with the flag 
LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE set. If I read dlls/kernel/module.c
correctly such a call will fail if the requested file is
not a valid PE file.

You could make it look like a valid PE file by just adding a
PE header, but the next failure would probably be on accessing 
some resource or something else inside the DLL.
