Continues to be an issue in the current version.  Our site is not public facing but the code would be similar to:

<img width="500" vspace="10" height="135" align="TOP" alt="day" src="http://user:pass@myserver.net/mrtg/6197-aal5_layer-day.gif">
<img width="500" vspace="10" height="135" align="TOP" alt="day" src="http://user:pass@myserver.net/mrtg/6178-aal5_layer-day.gif">

Where if only one of these images was on a page it would display without prompting for credentials.  If there are two of these img tags on a page, it will prompt for credentials for the second one.  If you cancel the credential prompt it will display the first image but not the second.
