There seem to be some problems with POV-Ray and PNG files.  I'm assuming
POV-Ray is to blame, and I'm looking into the problems.  libpng's
homepage is http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html.  My experience is
that recompiling POV-Ray from the source code appears to solve the
problems.  That's not so much a full explanation as it is a suggested
workaround.  Sorry about the inconvenience.
