I wouldn't call OpenCV 'about as mature as a software project can get,' as it's actively developed library with lots of contributors in yet experimental domain (more about mid-level pattern recognition than low-level image filtering). And the documentation was not up-to-date last I checked (~2 months ago). Bugs in really mature software (i.e. libtiff, libxml, sqlite) are very rare.

That's probably more accurate. I was conflating a long history with maturity/stability. I would guess most ~13 year old libraries are broadly more stable and bug-free than something a few years old but I guess anything that is being actively adapted to new problems will have inherent instability. I seriously doubt the code for reading images into an OpenCV-native format is being actively developed though. Anything being done in pattern recognition would likely not effect the library's basic IO stuff. What I was actually using it for (their RDP implementation, image thresholding) were likely pretty stable as well.
