In webkit, no, none of the various lazy loader's that use image replacement to cancel loading work, regardless of the JavaScript framework you're using.
I recommend starting with <a href="image_source.jpg"> and then converting them to image tags with a dummy image, and then later replacing the src with the original href. If webkit support is important, that's the best progressively enhanced way of doing it.
