Image src not updated when site address is changed in Simple Sites with custom domain

[jartes]

Quick summary

When a site primary address is changed from a custom domain to another domain or free WordPress.com address, the image src is not updated.

In some scenarios, the original domain is detached from the site (domain is transferred or expires), making the images not being displayed.

Steps to reproduce

1. On a Simple site with a domain, upload an image and add it to a post/page.
2. Change the site address to another domain or the default site address.
3. Check the image src.

What you expected to happen

Having the image src updated

What actually happened

The image src is not updated, and as mentioned, is not being displayed if the domain expires, or is not connected to the site anymore.

Impact

All

Available workarounds?

Yes, difficult to implement

If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.

The only workaround for now is editing the image src manually in cases where there are a few images.
