threshold doesnt seem to work quite right

[GoogleCodeExporter]

linux system, latest svn clean checkout.

For colored images, I'd expect this to turn the image (all channels) into a 
monocrhome image based on the value being set (ie all values above this to to 
100%, all values below go to 0).

The behavior seems to be almost works, however, I end up with some color 
remaining.   Tested images are all large PNG's , ie imagemagick reports this:
