Yes, there are a lot of things broken about ppm/pgm support in 3.5.  Until

- comments are not allowed *before* the width and height values in either
pgm or ppm.  
- ppm reading support strongly broken (problems with the 'depth' value)
- continued trace of ppm does not work
- 16 bit binary pgm not supported although allowed in pgm specs (this has
never been supported though)

Parts of it have already been reported in:
