+After a bit of sleuthing, I discovered the essence of the problem.
+For me, the form:
+
+@lisp
+    	(with-temp-buffer
+    	  (insert-file-contents "foo.xpm")
+    	  (buffer-string))
+@end lisp
+
+returns the empty string.  This is because something somewhere
+replaces the XPM data with a glyph --- I haven't figured out where
+this occurs.

+Do this:

+The image-mode stuff is gone from format-alist in the 21.4
+branch, praise be.
