But inline images shouldn't even go to processObjectRequest, so I'm quite confused.
Can it be that the (new) KImageIO::typeForMime check in ./html/html_objectimpl.cpp

But now I see the problem is in KHTML.
KHTMLPart::createPart doesn't have the same kind of loop around the trader results,
you are correct. Can you test the attached patch? I hope you still have your broken
