Oh, I see.  The NSM shouldn't really be firing at all, since this is
happening from a non-interactive-user context.  I.e., as originally
designed, these connections (for images fetched in the background) were
just meant to be closed and discarded.

That's the way it worked in Emacs 25, but perhaps the async network code
rework made this stop working.

And somehow it's started working again.  :-)
