This error is thrown when Horde_Mime_Magic::analyzeFile() returns a  
mime type that is not an image type. You can try running the following  
command in the phpshell in the Horde administrative menu:

var_dump(Horde_Mime_Magic::analyzeFile('/path/to/file.jpg','/path/to/mime_magic_db'));

and see what the resulting mime type is. Looking at the code we seem  
to use a different method for determining a valid image file during  
the web upload. I don't remember if there was a specific reason for  
this or not. I'll look into it more when I'm back in front of my  
development box.
