In my defence it wasn't entirely clear to me that a lisp string
returned from ENCODE_FILE was incompatible with stringWithLispString. ;)

Hmm, and as you point out we use "file" further down and it may or may
not be encoded, but will probably have the same contents as found,
which we know is encoded. Plus it's setting the "name" field in the
image, which we probably want to keep as uniform as possible for
caching purposes but is otherwise irrelevant.

I think the attached should solve this.
