Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 Linux with current (09 Dec.) build of client repository.

Please compile/run 'LoadTest.java' and try to load the image attached.

Output:

But the image could be loaded using, e.g., GNOME Image Viewer and even old (JAI-based) java code. The issue is also reproducible on Mac OS X 10.10.
