The pandas writer uses ToDict but Image.to_dict converted the bytes to string. When this string is then read back, the Image constructor thinks that it is actually the uri.
It looks like I originally made it convert to string, but I couldn't remember why. i searched through usages of to_dict and I didn't find any instance that really required the result to be non-binary.
