I suspect it is coincidence.
Absolute streams using an Icecast server - which emulates the classic
SHOUTcast server.
It embeds track info into the stream - including a field called
StreamURL.
This is widely used to point to the artwork for the playing track - an
abuse of the original meaning.
LMS / Squeezebox understands this and shows it.
My guess is that they do not always include it.

As another example - see "Dandelion Radio" ... you should see for that
one that there is a station logo when no artist image is available.
