PNG brush tip, that is misidentified

A few of the PNG brush tips in my collection suddenly don't work correctly anymore, both in Version 4.1.8 and 4.2.0 Next nightly, as of a couple of days ago. Instead of counting as masks where the brightness is the transparency, they are now identified as GBR format, so when drawing I get the grayscale image with rectangular borders instead of transparency. Some of affected ones I made directly in Krita not long ago. I verified they were working and I use them frequently. I tried assigning sRGB and Gray color profiles in Krita and swapping channels in ImageMagick, but the only thing that worked was converting into Gimp brush format (.gbr).

I attached one of the affected PNG images as an example.

I confirm that this happens with the attached example brush tip .png image in the latest (19 Mar) 4.2.0 pre-alpha appimage.

It does not happen in the 21 Feb build 4.2.0 appimage.

I've opened the attached example brush .png file and re-exported it to .png and the re-exported version also showed this problem.
If I export to .jpg then open the .jpg and export it to .png, that new .png image has no problem used as a brush tip.
(Could it be due to the combination of options that were used when first exporting the original images to .png?)

I added 2 more affected examples, that previously worked. The triangles one was converted from an SVG in Inkscape, the scale was extracted from a multi layer PSD with ImageMagick. Maybe it helps spot some pattern.

snu anisotropix and and scale6-8 are both 16 bit/channel RGB images, media-militia-vector-triangles-1 is 8 bit RGB. 

Qts checks whether an image is greyscale probably changed, instead of checking the pixels, it checks the color model of the images. The documentation stills says "Returns true if all the colors in the image are shades of gray (i.e. their red, green and blue components are equal); otherwise false.": https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qimage.html#allGray so this would seem to be a bug in Qt.

If you convert the image to 8 bit grayscale and save the PNG image with "force sRGB" unchecked, then the brushes load as brushes.

Use allGray instead of isGrayScale to determine whether the brush tip is grayscale

This works around a bug in QImage::isGrayScale where images with
16 bits/channel are not checked with allGray, so by default are not
grayscale. These images have depth 64, which is not in the switch
statement:

bool QImage::isGrayscale() const
{
    if (!d)
        return false;

    if (d->format == QImage::Format_Alpha8)
        return false;

    if (d->format == QImage::Format_Grayscale8)
        return true;

    switch (depth()) {
    case 32:
    case 24:
    case 16:
        return allGray();
    case 8: {
        Q_ASSERT(d->format == QImage::Format_Indexed8);
        for (int i = 0; i < colorCount(); i++)
            if (d->colortable.at(i) != qRgb(i,i,i))
                return false;
        return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
