For all practical purposes, the current behavior is fine. After all,
image-mode (currently) functions as an image viewer, not an image
editor. So if you move the underlying image file, no one will be
surprised that you can't view the image anymore! Plenty of image
viewing programs have this behavior (see gqview for example.)
When you visit a file in Emacs, looking at the buffer is not supposed
to depend on the existence of the file. The contents of the file are
supposed to be in the buffer. (That is what a buffer is for.)
That is why this is so clearly a bug.
If I agree to release without fixing this bug now, will you agree
in return to fix the problem next month for Emacs 23?
