Yes, your browser(s) seem to be "mending" the URI of the bad url.
Observe the source:
<img src="//images.slashdot.org/palm/title_palm.gif">
Which in Plucker, wget, Pavuk, LWP, Sitescooper, etc. produces:
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://slashdot.org/images.slashdot.org/palm/title_palm.gif
[following]
--14:41:14-- http://slashdot.org/images.slashdot.org/palm/title_palm.gif
=> `www.slashdot.org/images.slashdot.org/palm/title_palm.gif'

I banged into this with the "Daily Dose" page and was able to fix it
with an array of goop that appends to the URI, but it's not clean. Note the
301 redirect. Perhaps we need to work around it? But.. if we do, so does
everyone else.
