is there
a good reason to bzip-compress a .png file?

Although typically bzip2 doesn't compress .png files well, there are counterexamples such as the attached contrived file which has an 878:1 compression ratio.

PS. Watch out, it's a torture-test image. If you uncompress it and view it, older versions of Emacs will crash and newer versions show only a placeholder box, ImagickMagick's "display" program dumps core, Firefox displays it only at lower resolution while chewing up CPU, etc.)
