put URL "binfile:" behavior different between message box and handler?

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

Okay, it seems I'm at it again.

I have a handler in an image, which contains the following block of 
code:

   answer file "Select an image to insert:" as sheet
   put it into l
   if l is not empty and there is a file l then
     answer l
     set the lockLocation of me to true
     put URL "binfile:" & l into me
     set the lockLocation of me to false
   end if

I select a PNG or JPEG image file when prompted, the "answer l" command 
(obviously for debugging purposes) displays the correct filename, and 
an all-white image is inserted where a nice, fancy, colorful one should 
be.  Using

put URL "binfile:/Users/username/Desktop/afile.png" into image 
"imageName"

in the message box works as I would expect it to.  I tried the same 
image that I used in the message box when answering the select a file 
sheet, and the image is filled plain white.

Any clues?  Thank you!
