There's a heuristic that changes behavior when the image becomes
wider than 1/4 of the window.  By default, the "emacs -Q" window is
640 pixels wide, so that's what you see.

I will look into this and see if this is a bug or intended behavior.

In general, Lisp programs that display wide images should be careful
about these aspects to make sure images aren't clipped and appear in
their entirety.
