If that worked, then it's likely that the gd2 image is valid.  (gd2topng
coredumped on me when I tried it.)

The only other thing I can think of is perhaps Nagios' statusmap CGI was
built against an older version of gd, in which case using the older
pngtogd2 will probably help.  If you installed Nagios as binaries it's
likely this is causing your problems.

Since you do not have the older libraries installed you would have to
build the whole gd-1.8.4 set in order to make pngtogd2.  (If you look at
the source for this utility you can see it's just making GD calls and
really nothing else.)

So I would try (in order):
  + Rebuild Nagios from source on the system where you'll be running iy
    to ensure that it links with the right GD libraries.
  + Build gd 1.8.4 and re-convert your PNGs using the older converter.
