I have encountered a number of TIFFs like this. Usually they are from scientific applications such as from specialized CCD cameras. Or they could be from a remote-sensing application. In development GraphicsMagick 1.2 there are special provisions for TIFFs which store a bitwise smaller sample in a 16-bit space. So it is possible to tell GraphicsMagick the number of bits which represent the sample so that the data is automatically scaled into visible space.
