Although ImagMagick says that the image is just a JPEG compressed TIFF, 
the problems appear to be specific to the image.  I opened it in GIMP 
and saved it as a JPEG compressed TIFF and that new image does work.  So 
mystery partially solved.  Still don't know why KDE3 doesn't have any 
problems with it -- same image and same TIFF library.
