This image uses an indexed palette with transparency information. This
is not fully supported in GIMP. The PNG loader seems to handle it
nicely, but the GIMP image display has some special code that thresholds
the alpha channel for images in indexed mode. This is because the code
was written for GIF images. The projection in indexed mode simulates the
alpha capabilities of the GIF format, where a pixel is either fully
transparent or opaque.
