Please show the entire backtrace.  What you show here only tell us
that we are in a call to Imagemagick library, but it tells almost
nothing about how we got into Imagemagick when you typed "C-x k",
which is the main issue here.

Btw, do you see the "C-x-" prompt in the echo area if you wait for a
second or so before pressing 'k'?  If not, I think Emacs simply didn't
yet see your keypress, and is still inside Imagemagick processing the
image.  In that case, this is expected, since Emacs is not
multi-threaded (yet).
