Thanks again for everyone helping with this.  

I have an open case with Flickr on this issue.  I have done some additional
testing.  Here is the copy of the note I sent them. I will let you all know
what they say.

Here is the note:

================== 

OK, I found a tag of:  "Exif.Image.0x0001" which was causing some
issues with some programs.  When I used the exiv2 tool, it issued a
warning for this tag.  When I used the exiftool utility, it wouldn't
display the exif info, so I deleted the tag and both programs were
able to read.  I then downloaded the file basepng.png from Flickr.  I
added the geotag information.  I then used a conversion utility to
create a jpg version of this file.  I then uploaded both of these
files to Flickr.

The link for the PNG version is:

The link for the JPG version is:

I also attached two files:

The exiv2jpg shows the tag information for the jpg version
The exiv2png shows the tag information for the png version

As you can see the tag information is identical, and remember the jpg
file was created from the png version with no additional processing.
And both of the files above were created
from the basepng.png file which was downloaded from Flickr.

For some reason, Flickr is still not showing the PNG file after it has
been tagged with the geo information.  However, the tag information
shows up fine in the basepng file which is

What is happening?
