Interesting, but none of them are primarily text editors. When The Gimp automatically detects the image type from the file contents, that's less surprising than when Emacs does it, since The Gimp is for editing images, whereas Emacs is primarily for editing text files. Your 4 examples show that it does seem to be acceptable for this kind of automatic image detection to happen. I just don't like it, that's all. :)
