Aside from trying to get around a bug, if the graphic doesn't actually use that many different colours, lowering the colour depth will decrease the file size without change in the image quality. Using 24-bit on a black and white picture is just dumb, the lantern graphic being a great example, since the graphic is huge (1199x799). With 1-bit, the file size is 120 kilobytes. With 24-bit, it's 2.74 megabytes.
If lowering the colour depth seriously ducks up the image quality, though, I agree that it shouldn't be done JUST to decrease the file size/have mercy on crappy computer people.
