Sorry, of course you're correct Alex. I had my Image on the second child of a TabNavigator and forgot to set the creation policy to all... so the Image wasn't getting created if I never actually hit that second tab. The debug message made it sound like the "source" property was null, when, in fact, it was the image component itself.
DOH!
