This is the correct behavior. You don't want to download the same image twice -- that's a waste of bandwidth.

What Chrome does it create an in-memory object and then will apply it to all images with the respective src.

If you need it downloaded twice, then create those objects through javascript and assign .onload=function() { .. } to each.
