I couldn't reproduce this.  No hang, and if I look closely, I can see
the one black pixel rendered correctly in the top left corner.

Is your whole system completely frozen, or is it perhaps just using so
much RAM that it goes into swap and starts thrashing and becomes very
slow?  If the former, I guess it's some kind of graphics driver thing,
though it seems a bit funny that an image as simple as a single black
pixel could wreck it.

Do you really have imagemagick 7?  Or do maybe also have imagemagic 6?
As far as I know, the patch for Emacs to use v7 is not merged yet:
