This is similar to bug #2058, but the error raised here is much less
bewildering. ;-)
 
emacs -Q
 
C-x C-f foo.jpeg
 
That raises this error:
"File mode specification error: (error "Cannot determine image type")"
 
I don't think an error should be raised until the buffer is saved. I
could be wrong about that.  In any case, the error message should be
something more appropriate.
