1. open pink_stain.png - it is OK
   Use GIMP 2.8.16 (Win32)

Um, that sounds a bit like an effort :) What happens if you simply copy
the image to the clipboard in another application and paste it to GIMP?
Comment 3 Michael Schumacher 2016-03-24 14:46:59 UTC 
I would imagine that someone going to such great length to reproduce the behavior might also be able to explain what exactly is happening here - bugzilla77, did you write all the tools involved here yourself, and can you tell us what exactly in the file is causing this?
Comment 4 bugzilla77 2016-03-26 18:12:53 UTC 
The problem is that the data in DIB format may contain alpha channel, but Gimp ignores it.

> What happens if you simply copy the image to the clipboard in another application and paste it to GIMP.

When you copy image to the clipboard in another application who use only DIB format and paste it to GIMP, alpha channel is ignored.
