I expect the 10.1 retail box doesn't require this.
Actually you can go one step further with the upgrade, though. The 10.1
installer will allow you to reformat your drive prior to installation
(which is what I did). This might make a difference for some people.

I actually tried changing the file mappings again after failing several
times. This time the modifications stuck.
All I had to due to solve the PNG viewing problem (as discussed at
Macintouch) was to change the handling for image/png and image/x-png
from "Save to File" to "View with Browser." Works perfectly now, but the
issue still remains as to why it ships in this configuration.
