That's correct.

While the DOM is complete when `ready` fires, the images may not have
completely loaded, so you cannot access its dimensions. When you
refresh the page, the images are already in the cache.
So, while `document.ready` is what we want in 99,9% of the cases, it
seems it's not in yours.
Go with `$(window).load`.
