That'll do it. There's a mask-compression trick that results in a
nonstandard GIF, and Rev doesn't deal with this particular trick (basically
because it only works if you play the GIF from the beginning, and Rev can
go directly to any of the frames so it can't make certain assumptions about
the mask). See "Why do some frames of an animated GIF look strange?" in the
docs for details.

Try setting the image's constantMask to true and see whether that improves
the appearance.
