It's a feature, see bug#16062. (It misfired when the empty buffer
wasn't visiting a file, but I've now fixed that on the release
branch.)

You are supposed to insert the data, and then turn on image-mode. We
don't support image-mode in empty buffers, because that makes it
impossible to detect the image type, and thus leads to complications
down the road.
Thanks.
