I tested with various :scale values.

(let* ((data "P1\n2 2\n01\n10")
       (buf (generate-new-buffer "tmp"))
       (max (1+ (frame-char-height)))
       (scale 4))
  (switch-to-buffer buf)
  (while (<= scale max)
    (erase-buffer)
    (insert (format "\nscale: %g" scale))
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (redisplay)
    (insert-image (create-image data 'pbm t :scale scale))
    (insert ?_)
    (sit-for 0.5)
    (setq scale (1+ scale))))

It seems that if the image is partially displayed under '_',
lower area is painted black and white.
And the maximum value which causes temporary display seems to be
(frame-char-height).

For example, just started after emacs -Q, (frame-char-height) is 16
and :scale 17 simply displays solid gray square.
After (set-frame-font "Courier New-18"), (frame-char-height) is 27
and :scale 28 simply displays solid gray square.

The attached image shows how the square image id displayed.
