Sorry I didn't originally reply on-list: I've been struggling with this exact same problem, please see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-413. Briefly, I found that I received that ugly error when I had tall, thin image. Through trial-n-error I found if your height is greater than 540px and your image is thinner than 451px, you get the error. The easy work-around is to make it either shorter or fatter, but the minimum ratio seems to be 540:451. As to why this works, I don't really know.
