This works for me, if I invoke image-toggle-display by hand (you may
need to load image-mode before that).  It is bound to C-c C-c only in
buffers that visit image files.

Works for me if I do the first part (``create new file buffer y.gif'')
with "M-x set-visited-file-name".  How did you do that part in your
case?

It also works to decode the base64 data externally (with `recode'),
then visit the resulting GIF directly.
