No.

I could not agree more, and mentioned the Navigator only because you had not mentioned it.  If it 
truly does not show any difference between /identical/ images-in-frames exhibiting /different/ 
behavior, then that is a problem for the Navigator, as well.
[At some point I would like to see why; unfortunately, I don't have time to dig into it.  When I 
do, it would be nice to  have your file to guide the troubleshooting.]
