image service fails to supply image to unsubmitted stories

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create an empty HTML document
2. add the following html:
        <a
href="http://www.dotnetkicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.beefycode.com%2fpost
%2fUsing-PowerShell-Scripts-as-SVN-Hooks.aspx"><img
src="http://www.dotnetkicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=ht
tp%3a%2f%2fwww.beefycode.com%2fpost%2fUsing-PowerShell-Scripts-as-SVN-Hooks.aspx
&bgcolor=7ACE11&cbgcolor=eff0ef&border=7f7f7f"
border="0" alt="kick it on DotNetKicks.com" /></a><br/>
        <a
href="http://www.dotnetkicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.beefycode.com%2fpost
%2fContinuous-Integration-Timeline.aspx"><img
src="http://www.dotnetkicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=ht
tp%3a%2f%2fwww.beefycode.com%2fpost%2fContinuous-Integration-Timeline.aspx&bgcol
or=7ACE11&cbgcolor=eff0ef&border=7f7f7f"
border="0" alt="kick it on DotNetKicks.com" /></a>

3. open the HTML page in your browser 

What is the expected output? 

I expect to see a "kick it" image link with a 0 counter in the first link,
and a counter with >0 in the second link

What do you see instead?

instead of the first image, the alt test "kick it on DotNetKicks.com" is
displayed; however the second image appears normally.

What version of the product are you using?

rev 637
