User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When setting a node's innerHTML to a string containing an IMG tag whose src has
not yet been loaded, the status bar will continue to display "Waiting for [image
file host]..." (or "Transferring data from [image file host]...") even after the
image is loaded and displayed.

This will not occur if the image file in question has already been loaded on the
page, either as an IMG tag, or preloaded as a JavaScript Image object.

I have reproduced this in Firefox and Mozilla on Mac and on Windows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML page containing the following:
<html>
<head>
  <script type="text/javascript">    
    function load() {
      var div = document.createElement("DIV");
      div.innerHTML = '<img src="add.gif" />'; // Use whatever image URL you like.
      document.body.appendChild(div);      
    }    
  </script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
  OK
</body>
</html>

2. Load this page in the browser

Actual Results:  
The image loads and displays below the "OK" text, but the status bar continues
to show "Waiting for [host]..."

Expected Results:  
After the image loads, the status bar should show "Done".
