I looked at more decompressed BMF dumps from ACPI WMI and they have 
different 5th and 6th bytes. So they are really not FOMBT.

46 4f 4d 42 26 35 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
46 4f 4d 42 fa 17 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
46 4f 4d 42 8e 11 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
46 4f 4d 42 ac 1b 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00

So magic is only FOMB.
