Not a bug.  The site is just being bitten by their own attempt to manipulate the
system....  There are a bunch of <img> tags like so on that site:

<img src="common/images/spacers/transparent.gif" width="1" height="1"
alt="paperport, photo scanner, flatbed scanner, visioneer scanner, document
scanning, computer scanner, digital scanner, document scanner, photo scanning,
high speed scanner, visioneer">

That URI points to a 404 page.  The web page is in standards mode, so we don't
show a sized placeholder and render the alt text instead, per standard.  So you
see what you see.

Note that any blind user will see exactly the same thing even if the images
happened to exist, so what this site is doing is truly evil.

Over to evangelism.
