I'd have to look into the reason for that bit of weirdness.  It probably 
should return a 404.  I understand there was an early decision to not 
support content negotiation for license image format so as to minimize 
the work done by the server hosting the images, as eventually billions 
and billions of pages will include CC license button images.
