I think you missed the point - your second request *may get a 404* if you
simply repeat it, even if the image _has_ been generated on the server by that
point, because intermediate servers may cache the 404 for a short period of
time.

The cache-busting on the second request for the thumbnail is intended to avoid
this situation. Otherwise you get a big red message.
