I've done some testing in the meanwhile, trying to perform this operation by the use of 16-bit images. After downloading and installing the current Windows 16-bit executable (6.3.5-10 Q16), I stripped the operation down to:

convert -depth 16 -size 64x64 xc:grey50 grey.tif
identify -verbose grey.tif >log.txt
convert grey.tif -fx "1/256" x.tif
identify -verbose x.tif >>log.txt
convert x.tif x.tif -compose multiply -composite x2.tif
identify -verbose x2.tif >>log.txt

and got strange results (see below).

Anyone who can throw some light onto this?
