Well, bmp is only the SYSTEM format for Windows...
What make you expect to get the same default for SYSTEM format on Unix.
Spec of 3.1e gives the SYSTEM format on unix as Targa, and allow to
switch it to either PPM or PNG.
I do not know what is the current choice for Unix sourcecode, but bmp
format just sucks!

Better and simpler: move your script for a fixed file format.
That way, you will get the same format from all platform.
Then you can thing about compatibility.

My preference would go for 8bit per channel PNG, but you might vary.
