Meaning of "text user ID's"?

I'm signing keys after a keysigning party, using GnuPG 2.1.16. Issuing
- --edit-key sign, I'm asked:

"Really sign all text user IDs? (y/N)"

Now here's what I see (anonymized):

So how come that the jpeg image is about to be signed as well? What does "TEXT
user ID" mean? I would have expected only the other UID's to be signed. Is this
a bug in my head or in the code?

Cheers,

Peter.
