Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the animated WebP example at https://mathiasbynens.be/demo/animated-webp on Mint 22.2 with Pix 3.4.7, then trace the image-loading and display path. Done means animated WebP files display correctly while stationary WebP files continue to work.
