Unable to open certain AIG rasters with GDAL 2.1

[lpinner]

I'm unable to open certain ArcInfo binary (AIG) rasters with GDAL 2.1. They open in GDAL 1.11.

I've tried on Windows 7 with Tamas' GISInternal 2.1.0 and 1.11.4 release builds and Windows 7 & Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) with Conda (conda-forge) 2.1.1 and 1.11.4 builds

I have an example file which is too big to attach to this ticket (~8MB). I've tried cropping in ArcGIS, but the resulting raster is readable in GDAL 2.1. ​https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztow01ukgt8lsgi/se54.zip?dl=0

gdalinfo output from 1.11.4 & 2.1.1
