  I tried the indexed thing, it turned a 1-bit file of ~200kB
  into a 25MB file!
  I haven't tried xv or xpaint yet, can anyone recommend another
  program that is good for processing 1-bit images?

  Moving back on topic somewhat, I tried replicating my lineart
  scans producing greyscale files problem but couldn't. I still
  have some of the original files so I know I didn't imagine it.
  Must have been a special case, I will test more this weekend.
