It's nothing to do with to box opening entirely over the map, it's
related to whether or not the browser has the image in its cache.
If the image is not in cache, and if you don't specify width and height
attributes, then when the API asks the browser about the size of the
image, the browser replies that the image has zero size. The API
configures the info window graphics to a size appropriate for an image
of zero size.
Some time later, the image data arrives, but the info window has already
been sized.
maps.google.com has some clever code that detects that the image size
doesn't match the info window size and redraws it. That code is not
available in the API, so you have the following options:
1. Live with it.
2. Apply width and height attributes to all the images
E.g. <img style="border:1px solid #5C7FB9"
src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/Schwarttzy/SKwQcWSCcHI/AAAAAAAAAB8/VUjX6Qwe3Pg/
s400/DSC01042.JPG" alt="DSC01042.JPG" width="400" height="300"/>
3. Preload all the images that you might use, so that they're in cache
when required.
An easy way to do that is to use EGeoXml with the options
{preload:true, iwwidth:550}
The downside is that if you've got a lot of pictures, you waste a lot of
bandwidth fetching pictures that the user might not look at.
