Or we could explicit and call it :content-type, since that's what it
is. But that may lead callers to expect that it (always) be heeded
instead of treating it as a hint. Uhm... :content-type-hint?
And then, as you say, the ImageMagick code in image.c will do the right
thing.
For instance, have an alist where the initial population is just
'(("image/x-icon" "ico"))
and we'd set the file name to (say) "/tmp/foo.ico" before asking
ImageMagick to parse the data blob.
If this doesn't seem too gruesome, I can implement this, and we'll see
whether there are further elements that should be added after a while...

Yes. This will add to the general confusion in this area.
