That's what I suspected and it does seem that in both the cases I get
the warning the entries relate to the preview.  Here are the exiv2
warnings:

$ pngdumpmeta --exif <Alaska.png >/dev/null
Warning: Directory OlympusCs, entry 0x0101: Strip 0 is outside of the
data area; ignored.
$ pngdumpmeta --exif <BigelowLakes.png >/dev/null
Warning: Directory NikonPreview, entry 0x0201: Data area exceeds data
buffer, ignoring it.

Neither "exif" nor "exiftool" output any messages however I don't
think either default to outputting those specific directories,
pngdumpmeta just iterates though the whole set of EXIF data.  The
*original* JPEG images are here:

In the "CC Atribution-ShareAlike" folder; Alaska.jpg and BigelowLakes.jpg

The EXIF (APP1) data was copied verbatim.
