https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Constitution_of_the_United_States,_page_1.tif is a high-resolution TIFF file which is above the current megapixel limit for rendering thumbnails. As a result, image description pages just render a large broken thumbnail image, but do not communicate to the user what the problem is. In particular, since this is how the image will always render due to its large resolution, not a temporary issue, the design could be improved so it is not so confusing to the user (and so it is clearer that they can download the original file if desired).
PagedTiffHandler checks size limits at wrong stage (not that mw default behaviour is any better)
Change 135101 had a related patch set uploaded by Brian Wolff: Check $wgMaxImageArea before downloading file asset from swift https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/135101

See bug 32387 for that issue.

Calling this fixed as there now actually is an error (look for it on commons on tuesday). For general better error handling of this situation see bug 32387
