I suspect you have an extended graphic state on the first page that affects color matching/management, and not on the other pages...
Or visa versa... Or different states. Solution? Use the same state in all instances of the image. Figuring out the current state? That's Hard (though not impossible thanks to com.lowagie.text.pdf.parser.*). You'll want to check out the PDF reference, sections 4.3 (graphic state) and 4.5 (color spaces)... and maaayyybe 4.8 (images).
