I'm really not convinced that using the plugin hooks like this is the
right way of solving the problem you appear to be trying to solve.
Particularly, treating plugins as valid image content types likely opens
a large can of worms (not least, as plugin support was disabled because
it resulted in many crashes)

Could you explain what it is you're actually trying to do here?

If, as I suspect, it's to be able to dynamically support additional MIME
types, then the better solution is to make the content type dispatcher
able to accept runtime registration of MIME types. This is something
that is planned, but won't happen until after 2.7 as it requires major
surgery to the core.
