Thanks Rich. I've temporarily been working round the issue by deleting the image and creating a new one as you mentioned. Fortunately, there's only one image with the filename in question.
I was hoping there'd be a more elegant solution than deleting and creating a new image but maybe that's the way it is. I guess I could create my image file with a different name every time I create it. Sounds like there should be a way to switch off image caching.
