This happens to me with some files that have the mime type image/png but have a .bmp extension.  Not sure how the files ended up that way to begin with, but I suppose that's beside the point.  In that particular use case, then it is useful to have a pointer here to

Title:
  Image viewer will not read .bmp images

Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: eog

  The default image viewer used to view .bmp images perfectly. In fact,
  just a few minutes ago, it worked perfectly. A friend sent me a .bmp
  file and I attempted to open it with the default image viewer in
  Ubuntu 8.10. Thought I'd looked at the same image less than 3 minutes
  prior, it now won't show the images, sending me an error that BMP
  image has bogus header data. This happens with every bitmap file I try
  to open now. I've checked it with the Gimp and they open perfectly.
  I've also tried them in F-Spot and they open perfectly. The only
  change happened when I was highlighting a folder full of .bmp images
  to delete. A menu opened at random just as I was releasing the mouse
  buttom, it highlighted the top option and I have no idea what happened
  from there but now .bmp images won't open, even ones that have been on
  my computer for the past 3 months. It's not a huge deal for me, but
  it's something that should be fixed.
