We have run into a number of these and found changing this code in tif_dirread.c but in the older 3.5.6/3.5.7 era code. I don't seem to have saved a copy of one of those images for comparison/testing purposes. But basically the setfield would fail on _SAMPLEFORMAT for a 1bpp image. So we attempt to copy the tag data but do not consider it an error - possibly not best solution, but we needed something quick in our case.

                              case TIFFTAG_DATATYPE:

                              case TIFFTAG_SAMPLEFORMAT:

                                             if
(!TIFFFetchPerSampleShorts(tif, dp, &iv) ||

                                                 !TIFFSetField(tif,
dp->tdir_tag, iv))

                                                            goto bad;

                                             break;

To this

                              case TIFFTAG_DATATYPE:

                                             if
(!TIFFFetchPerSampleShorts(tif, dp, &iv) ||

                                                 !TIFFSetField(tif,
dp->tdir_tag, iv))

                                                            goto bad;

                                             break;

                              case TIFFTAG_SAMPLEFORMAT:

                                             if
(TIFFFetchPerSampleShorts(tif, dp, &iv))

                                                 TIFFSetField(tif,
dp->tdir_tag, iv);

                                             break;

Would resolve the issue
