I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 28.1 on Debian/bookworm with

(setq image-use-external-converter t)

So perhaps it is a Windows-only problem?

In any case, Emacs 29 has native support for webp, so this is probably
fixed there.  Would it be possible for you to check whether this works
better in Emacs 29?
