Comment (by mitogh):

 Adding the steps to replicate the problem using functions either directly
 on a script or via WP shell.

 {{{
 $file = download_url( 'https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/coppersmith-
 repair-copper-kettle-on-fire-in-kashgar-in-xinjiang-picture-
 id1298102169?s=612x612' )
 $result = media_handle_sideload( $file )

 // This would be an error because file would use a .tmp extension which is
 not valid to be uplodaed.
 var_dump( $result );
 }}}


 Mainly the problem is because the header content is not considered as part
 of the mime type instead the extension of the file is used to indicate
 which mime type is.
