Direct Tumblr uploads not posting the original image

Posted under General

Something that got my attention was how Danbooru fetches the full sized image from Tumblr. I tried to upload this particular image through direct link and it gave me post #2636973, a JPEG with the same dimensions as the original. However, if you look at the original link itself on Tumblr, you'll notice that it's actually a 2 MB PNG that I had to download and post via the file upload process, giving me post #2636975. Anyone else have this problem?

Weird. In my case, I can't use bookmarklet on the Tumblr post link (it will end up with a blank page on the upload page). That's why I always upload through *.media.tumblr.com to ensure that I got the highest resolution and size available.
