It should not be returning false for one of your images because GM 
does claim it has an opacity channel:

% gm identify -verbose /home/bfriesen/BW_32BPP.bmp
Image: /home/bfriesen/BW_32BPP.bmp
   Format: BMP (Microsoft Windows bitmap image)
   Geometry: 48x48
   Class: DirectClass
   Type: bilevel
   Depth: 1 bits-per-pixel component
   Channel Depths:
     Gray:     1 bits
     Opacity:  1 bits
   Channel Statistics:
     Gray:
       Minimum:                     0.00 (0.0000)
       Maximum:                 65535.00 (1.0000)
       Mean:                    52763.64 (0.8051)
       Standard Deviation:      25964.52 (0.3962)
     Opacity:
       Minimum:                 65535.00 (1.0000)
       Maximum:                 65535.00 (1.0000)
       Mean:                    65535.00 (1.0000)
       Standard Deviation:          0.00 (0.0000)
   Opacity: (  0,  0,  0,255)      #000000FF

Are you absolutely sure that Magick++ returns matte() of false for 
this image?
