Impossible to grok on file field, causes Logstash to fail

Using the most basic configuration below (I've removed the more complex match patterns):

input {
  lumberjack {
    port => 6782
    ssl_certificate => '/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt'
    ssl_key => '/etc/pki/tls/private/logstash-forwarder.key'
 }
}

filter {
  grok {
    match => [ 'file', "%{PATH}/%{NOTSPACE}.l%{NOTSPACE}" ]
  }
}

output {
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

Generates the following output:

Logstash does not seem to be able to extract values from the 'file' field when used with the Lumberjack input plugin / Logstash Forwarder (does work if extracting from the path field when the input is file). When I comment out the grok section, Logstash works properly and you can see the file field in the output below:

   "message" => "\tat org.apache.activemq.util.ServiceSupport.stop(ServiceSupport.java:71)[185:org.apache.activemq.activemq-osgi:5.11.0.redhat-620133]",
  "@version" => "1",
"@timestamp" => "2015-11-04T12:22:05.829Z",
      "file" => "/var/log/karaf/event-broker-container-abc-fb99.log.1",
      "host" => "abc-fb99.abc.dev",
    "offset" => "541719",
      "type" => "karaf"

Is this a bug or how is it possible to Grok on the file field?

Thanks,
