I tried the same scenario and I get a blank image on the screen. Perhaps it 
depends on the imagemagick or cairo version or whatever. I'm running Emacs on 
Fedora 23 x86-64, and displaying on Ubuntu 15.10 x86-64 via an ssh -X link.

If I use the current emacs-25 commit () but keep everything else the same, Emacs 
displays the binary text of the image with a message in the bottom line "Cannot 
display image: (This Emacs mishandles this image file type)", which is what I 
would expect from the current code. I don't know why I wasn't observing this 
behavior earlier, but at least now I know that Bug#22442 is still kicking.

As Mark says, Bug#22442 and Bug#21110 are probably the same bug, so I'll merge 
them. I can't recommend --with-cairo at this point.
