The edit you should have made to /etc/mailcap was to remove the single
quotes around the "%s" part of the display command ...

broken mailcap line :-
image/png; display 'png:'%s''; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

fixed mailcap line :-
image/png; display 'png:%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

I suspect that this bug should attack to imagemagick, rather than to
mime-support. The capabilities for "image/png" are not present in a
minimal install, and there are terefore no lines in /etc/mailcap. It's
only when you introduce the imagemagick package (and its dependencies)
that any capability for image/png appears, and it is broken, as
described.
