OK, I looked into this and the problem is caused by a hack that was 
specially there for the WRaster file loading. The method
[NSBitmapImageRep imageRepsWithFile:] cause this, as it works around the 
normal way of doing image loading. Alexander probably did forget to 
remove this method and its use in [NSImageRep 
imageRepsWithContentsOfFile:], but I would like to get a statement from 
him, before I remove it myself and cause even greater damage.
