Well, I couldn't just do that, because I had implemented the limitation in a stupid way. So I changed the limitation so that it limits the area instead of the width and height (the point is to limit the memory use and the memory use is proportional to the area). So the example upthread now works fine, as it should.
I've also documented the limitation in the 2hdtp/images docs.
