Red Hat 6.0 (Linux 2.2).

The display is correct. The first image has the "vertical-align: bottom" style,
so it is aligned to what would be the bottom line for the text, if some text were
present. The second image has no style attached to it, so it is aligned to the
base line of any text that could be there.

I understand that my explanations may be a bit confusing so see the new testcase
that I'm going to attach. Closing as invalid.

Yes, I see that since the second image does not have a vertical align style set,
it defaults to baseline which will not align the images evenly. Another problem
then might be related to Nav quirks. Will take this issue offline with assigned
engineer.
