[Magick-bugs] Problems creating PDFs from Indexed PNGs

I am trying to create a PDF document from 4 scanned PNG images.

When the PNGs are in indexed mode (gimp:image->mode->indexed), the
"convert *.png out.pdf" command succeeds, but when trying to view it,
only the first two pages show. I've tried viewing this with evince, xpdf
and acroread -same result.

When I convert these scans to normal grayscale images, it is possible to
see all the pages in the PDF document.

I think this is a bug. Does anyone know of a workaround that allows me
to use indexed PNGs?
