This might be a mime type problem or a gdk-pixbuf loader problem.

To check that the mime guessing code is working try running the
attached code against the image under the same environment that you're
running weston.

If that fails you need to make sure you have the mime type databases
installed. If that succeeds you need to look at loader problem.

My gdk-pixbuf has png built in but yours might use an external loader
inside e.g. /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/<version>/loaders (check with ldd to
see if your gdk-pixbuf has png built in.) You also need to make sure
that the png loader is in the loaders.cache file inside
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/<version>/

Good luck!

Cheers,

Rob
