Isn't this an HTTP issue?
I suppose you could call it that. The main issue is that people are
confused with the current wording and assume it either doesn't cover
cached images or that in case of images being cached the text does not
apply. (The Opera browser has for some time not dispatched those events
because of incorrect assumptions.)
So a generic note somewhere that downloading can refer to retrieving it
over the network or reading it from the cache, etc. would be good.
