That's what I thought, too, but I now bisected this down to perlmagick
being installed vs. not being installed.  Involving Pino Toscano who
recently did some imagemagick patching
(cf. <http://bugs.debian.org/551017>) -- Pino, please note that I'm not
saying that you're responsible for this perlmagick breakage which we're
discussing in <http://bugs.debian.org/557771>, but perhaps you have an
idea / know how to run some testing / etc.

Unfortunately I can't locate an installable older version of perlmagick
et al. on snapshot.debian.net, but installed vs. not installed is
confirmed on three different (Hurd) systems.
