Ha, it was the same for me. I used imageworsener where I had to explicitly specify -nogamma for this effect.

An other place where wrong gamma handling accidentally works is text anti-aliasing. It turns out that for small font size the wrong handling of colorspace results in more readable text than the gamma-correct method only for dark text on light background [1]. No wonder people don't like to use light fonts on dark background (like terminals).
