I would like to know what to do for the release: 1. Leave as is, a known problem. 2. Do the quick fix as jeremias suggests: putting the Commons codec before the ImageIO variant in ImageFactory. 3. Test Jeremias' patch and apply it.
We can do the fix in the release branch (to be created) only, in the interest of an errorless release.
