Images are read when they are inserted in the document not when the actual Image instance is created. This is done to keep compatibility with the rtf and html generation. The last version supports new image classes in the codec package but will only work with pdf. The images are read there and will fail immediately if there's any problem. By the way, all the gif types are supported in the codec package and so are bmp, tiff and png. In the next release the image type will be selected automatically.
