No luck. I used imagemagick to convert to pnm and back.
Transparency was removed before by adding a white background, also all
not critical chunks (ICC profile, backgroundcolor, resolution, creation
and modify date, comment) were removed. The graphic is a valid PNG
(TweakPNG) and aside from the size, there is nothing special with this
graphic. Still no '(PNG copy)'.

@luigi: an ICC profile definitely breaks the <png copy> rules

The only chunks left are

IHDR    PNG image header: 5900x4094, 8bits/sample, truecolor, noninterlaced
IDAT    PNG image data
..
IDAT    PNG image data
IEND    end-of-image marker

Mh, where is the show stopper? The compression method?
