Yeah, I just double-checked which backend I was using and it turned out to
be GTKAgg (I forgot that I changed it at one point for a test). In TkAgg, I
get the same error message you report.

I am certainly not an expert, but it would appear that we offload a lot of
the file-format stuff to PIL anyway. So, if PIL ever supports WebP, then I
would imagine (although I could be wrong) that it would be fairly trivial to
add support to WebP at least to whereever we support JPEG.
