The fact that the prop=imageinfo can return fewer values than requested? No,
that has been around since r46845 in early 2009.

That prop=imageinfo chooses to do so to limit the number of thumbnails
generated in one query? Yes, that was added in Gerrit change 47189 merged last
month.

There's the proper fix for your problem.

There are concerns other than total CPU time used across the several queries.
Generating too many thumbnails in a single query caused other problems.

Assume good faith, please.
