Yes, this is another problem.  Gnus doesn't use `image-type-header-regexps'.
mm-decode.el creates an image by calling `create-image' with `imagemagick'
and `data-p' arguments, so `image-type' doesn't call `image-type-from-data'.

But this is still a problem.  Currently we can't view images supported
by ImageMagick when they are visited from archives.  That's because of
the problem you mentioned: there are no ImageMagick headers in
`image-type-header-regexps'.

Another problem is that we can't use ImageMagick transformations on
default image types JPEG, GIF, PNG because they are not visited
with the help of ImageMagick.
