Details:

iminfo/imread for any fully saturated RGB image will return logical type
instead of uint8 if the pixel values are saturated. Same problem in 3.6.4,
probably 3.4.3 as well. To test this, create a solid red image, with all
pixels = 0xff, green=blue=0. Save as a .bmp or a .png. Try to display it;
Octave throws errors. It doesn't matter if .bmp, .png.

If the same image is saved as .jpg, though, Octave is happy, and it displays
properly.

Drop the value to 0xfe, image reports and displays properly.
