OK I've figured this out. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug per se, but you cannot modify the datagrid data while a selectionChanged handler is running. The only reason I can think this is an issue is if the datagrid library calls selectionChanged itself. The workaround is to send in time

It's very possible that for the purposes of efficiency, Photoshop allocates enough memory so that it can work on the file as though it were in 24 bit color mode. It may be that some filters do a temporary shift to 24 bit color to do their magic, then back to 8 bit. This is just a guess though.
