There seems to be a bug in the dismiss mechanism of UIViewController associated with UIImagePicker, with a sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum.

This is only really obvious for apps that use a full-screen view. My current app project does, plus I control the frame of the view controller's view before presenting, so the UIImagePicker is NOT full screen. This made the bug VERY obvious. I spent 4-5 hours determining the cause, and this was the final certain conclusion, and the bug does NOT occur for sourceType Camera nor PhotoLibrary.

So if you want a perfectly full-screen app and want to present a bug-free UIImagePicker, avoid UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum
