Thanks for testing.

Lars, WDYT about including this in Emacs 28.2?  If you think it's safe
enough, would you mind testing the patch on GNU/Linux?  I don't have
access to any systems with ImageMagick installed.

(In the final commit, I will make the same change in the ffmpeg
method.)

I don't understand: the actual method invoked in that case is
image-converter--convert-magick.  The image-converter--convert one (if
that's what you mean) is a generic name (see that cl-defmethod?).  So
what is not right here?

Emacs 29 can display BMP images on Windows natively, so that problem
is already taken care of, just not in Emacs 28.
