Well, let me ask the other way round: Is there any disadvantage in first
zeroing the in-memory table and then writing to the image?
If I have a choice between "always safe" and "not completely safe, but I
think it's unlikely to happen", especially in image formats, then I will
certainly take the "always safe".

Ok, so I'll object to this code without really having looked at it.
