A really strange case, but lets try to solve it. I'm using the old and not cool Picasso, but one day I'll give Glide a try. Here are some links that could help you :

• Bitmap POC
• Supporting bitmaps topic
• Someone also facing your problem

And actually a cruel but I think efficient way to solve this :

ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
  yourBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
  Glide.with(this)
      .load(stream.toByteArray())
      .asBitmap()
      .error(R.drawable.ic_thumb_placeholder)
      .transform(new CircleTransform(this))
      .into(imageview);

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I hope it can make you a step closer to the solution.
