Seems kind of unlikely because if none of the images on the europe squids were
getting purged like in bug 31680, I feel there would be a lot more anger (so
same symptom different cause). This appears to be a more one-time incident.

I would guess (this is just a guess, I haven't even looked at said images or
looked into this at all), was that a (HTCP) packet just happened to be lost
somewhere which resulted in a stale cache entry not being purged. After all,
HTCP does send udp packets, and there's nothing checking they actually get
through, so if a packet gets dropped it just dissapears. (OTOH if this happens
often perhaps there's some issue that comes up when mediawiki has to purge
large number of thumbnails [since djvu files have 100's of pages, so a purge
might be thousands of images]). But to re-iterate that's all idle speculation.

Is the image still bad if one does ?action=purge on the image description page?
