The latest Firefox 1.5.0.4 displays a red dot instad of the usual broken-image.gif or loading-image.gif

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page where images load slowly, or are broken (eg. http://www.sweb.cz/alicebot/broken-image.html). For some reason http://www.sweb.cz/alicebot/broken-image-2.html doesn't even display the missing image placeholder (I don't know if it's still a part of this bug).
Actual Results:  
All loading image or broken image images are replaced with a red dot (view attachment for a screenshot of a slow loading page)

Expected Results:  
broken-image.gif or loading-image.gif placehoders are showed

Could this in any way be connected to the fix of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334341 ?

The screenshot was taken with the qGANT 1.5 theme, but I've since verified that this happens using the default theme too.
