Did you ever resolve this? I am running into the same issue.

In a way that I couldn't make any sense of, the problem was solved without me making any changes. I thought they had seen this issue and fixed the problem even though they hadn't responded. Perhaps the issue is that while the docs say the API accepts image/* (all image formats), it might not be able to handle certain image formats. Try using PNG or JPEG - that is, if your issue is related to images.
