This is pretty standard behaviour for pdftex (pdflatex).
Don't know why --- it's certainly not desirable.

It also happens when there is a graphic of the right name,
but pdfTeX cannot unravel the internal data format.
e.g.
colored JPEGs from Photoshop kill it, though Grayscale ones are OK.
For the coloured JPEGs, resaving with GraphicConverter makes them OK.
