No, don' think so.
But it sounds like a similar situation: at the time the page is loaded the 
images are not available yet, but they get displayed once they are.
Perhaps this only works if the page loading and the image loading uses the 
same IO slave.

Maybe DOM::Document::updateRendering() helps.

Hmm, how about skipping the img elements on page creation and inserting them 
once the respective image becomes available?
