InlineImageParseException: Could not find image data or EI

We have some PDFs that have recently been throwing the following errors
when attempting to call the processContent method. I have noticed that a
few folks had noticed this with earlier versions of iText, but we are
currently using iText 5.5.0. I wish I could provide the PDF, but it has a
bunch of proprietary and confidential information in it.

It appears there are some acknowledged bugs with this code based on the
JavaDoc of the InlineImageUtils.java class:

        // read all content until we reach an EI operator surrounded by
whitespace.
        // The following algorithm has two potential issues: what if the
image stream
        // contains <ws>EI<ws> ?
        // Plus, there are some streams that don't have the <ws> before the
EI operator
        // it sounds like we would have to actually decode the content
stream, which
        // I'd rather avoid right now.

Is there any active development going on that would solve this issue for
some PDFs that addresses the whitespace issues?
