Has anyone noticed that, with firmware 2.6.1, PNG images in EPUB files are not displayed? Specifically, some blank space appears where the PNG image is supposed to be, but the image itself is not rendered.

JPEG images (with or without SVG wrapper) are correctly displayed, while PNG images are not displayed at all. This holds true for both EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 files. Renaming the same file to .kepub "solves" the problem, that is, the PNG images are displayed again.

EDIT 1: see attached images, showing the same EPUB 2 file on Kobo Glo and on Lucifox.
EDIT 2: if you want to test the problem yourself, you can download this EPUB 3 file and go to the Colophon page. There should be three PNG icons displayed, but they are not rendered.
