I ran into this too and it looks like it's valid.
Wiki page on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Image_File_Format

Mine ended up being a photo with the extension so I just deleted it since I didn't need it anyways.

This is no longer relevant with the new implementation, please open a new issue if it is still persisted
