The only problem I see is with transformed images being cached, and
then the client rerequesting the image without going to the page
that generates the image.
If this is a problem then you should make the transformed images
dynamically generated, but I doubt this matters at all.
I would make sure to do something like
foo/images/bah.jpg # original
foo/transformed/bah.jpg
and not
foo/images/bah.jpg
foo/images/bah.transformed.jpg
since it's easier to delete the transformed images this way.
Good luck =)
