Because you now serve several whitespaces (i.e. spaces, newline, 
carriage-returns whatever) together with the imagedata.
To illustrate
<dtml-if expr="UID == 'myid'>\n
____<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'image/gif')">\n
____<dtml-var expr="mytestgif.data">\n
<dtml-else>\n
____<img src="http://anotherdomain/bar.jpg">\n
</dtml-if>\n

I have replaced spaces with _ and newline with \n.
So if UID == 'myid' the browser gets:

\n
____Content-Type: image/gif\n
____<dataofthepicture>\n
\n
\n
\n

You see, that is wrong, it should get:

Content-Type: image/gif\n
<dataofthepicture>

This is ugly to get right in a dtml-method, you have to put it all in
one line, without _any_ whitespace.
Can't you just do (or similar, this is untested) the follwing?

<dtml-if expr="UID == 'myid'>
     <dtml-return "RESPONSE.redirect('http://hostname/mytestgif')">
<dtml-else>
     <dtml-return "RESPONSE.redirect('http://anotherdomain/bar.jpg')">
</dtml-if>
