Just to confirm the above:
We use ic 5.3.0 with this feature and have the same 'problem' as 
described above.
So it seems that the setup is not wrong (unless ours is wrong too..)
but that the 100x100 image is not refreshed when the original changes.
It's a great feature though, it decreased  the weight of our webpages
importantly.
