Are you upgrading ubuntu or IM? You don't mention the IM version you are using. But assuming you did upgrade IM, then ...

Your command is rather complex as one long command. Try to find the option that seems to fail by doing things in multiple commands and saving intermediate temporary images.

try changing +compose to -compose over
