You are right. DPM makes a reusable pdfximage to be width and height 1pt
(only in the case of bitmap images). Of course, DPX does not.

So I changed the CVS code to force width and height to be 1pt in  
"emulation mode",
and the bmpsize package worked well with "emulation mode".

Here is a comment. The "emulation mode" is nothing but dvipdfmx except  
for
handling bitmap images (as far as I know since the main maintainer of  
the
emulation part is Matthias). So it may happen that more conflicts can  
be found.

Anyway, Heiko Oberdiek, I checked the driver file, "bmpsize- 
dvipdfmx.def".
I could not understand why you give the following value:

\def\bmpsize at dvipdfmx@factor{1.3837}

Since May 2007, DPX handles bitmap images in the same way as pdftex.
So \bmpsize at dvipdfmx@factor must be 1.0 in my opinion.
Could you check this one for me?
