 I sure didn't, that's a good find! I ran it through my entire PNG test
 folder, and all matched on `png:IHDR.color_type`. Seems `png:IHDR.color-
 type-orig` is not set initially. It must get set once the image has been
 scaled. Interestingly, it seems the IHDR.color_type doesn't get
 overwritten after the image resized. At least not immediately, but it
 might be worth checking both values for a color type of 3 just to be safe.
