What causes this issue?

If you want to use binary content in DPS, it is only possible to use
URLs to reference this content. In this case, there are further
restrictions because there should be only one attribute referencing an
URL per node. In addition, a pair of attributes is needed: One
referencing the URL and another specifying the correct MIME type of the
content. The attribute for the URL needs to have the
<ZK>ContentURLIndicator</> set to true and must be of data type string.
The latter also applies to the MIME type attribute, which is designated
as a MIME type using the semantic code <ZK>MimeType</>.
