E966 Invalid line number when previewing images in Neo-tree

[elainefs]

I'm getting an error when previewing images in Neo-tree using image.nvim.

Environment:

• Neovim: v0.11.3
• OS: Debian (Wayland)
• Terminal: Kitty, GNOME Terminal and Tilix (same behavior)
• image.nvim version: v1.5.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Neo-tree
2. Toggle preview with Shift + p
3. Select an image file
4. Error appears

Errors:

        resolve_image_path = function (document_path, image_path, fallback)
          return fallback(document_path, image_path)
        end

	},
	config = function(_, opts)
		local image = require("image")
		image.setup(opts)
	end,
}

This does not happen in an older installation where image.nvim was not recently updated.

I reverted to that version and the error no longer occurs.
