Planning error when image is of type singularity and source is docker hub

Pegasus fails to plan a workflow that has a container of type singularity and the image url points to docker hub.

Example TC:
cont hic_hq_image {
type "singularity"
image "docker:///papajim/hic_hq:latest"
}

Planning the workflow is successful when I I change the container specification in the transformation catalog to type "docker" :
cont hic_hq_image {
type "docker"
image "docker:///papajim/hic_hq:latest"
}

I have attached a verbose output from the planner. I've tested this with 4.8.4, but the output is from 4.8.2. Still the same error though.
