IJ.openImage returning NULL after using BioFormats to open?

I'm dealing with a new (to me) image format.  I have two very similar images, with extensions .hdr and .img.  Both behave the same.

When I call (from Java):

        ImagePlus ipl = IJ.openImage(path);

...the Bio-Formats Import Options screen appears.
I accept all defaults (I've also tried "Standard ImageJ" instead of "Hyperstack") and a single image is displayed (perhaps it's actually a one-slice stack?)

But, ipl is null!

I'm going to workaround this by saving the image as a .tif and proceed from there - but I thought I'd ask: "what am I doing wrong"?

Question 2 - should I be surprised that the image is DISPLAYED?  My plugin wants the ImageProcessor, and will use it to create a custom ImagePlus (with  a few minor extensions).  I'm guessing that once Bio-Formats is called, all bets are off?
