Why is this image being loaded both by react and then by frame? #138

Hello!

I noticed some odd behaviour. When I'm loading a particular image, "SI.jpg" in the attached screenshot, I've noticed both react and aframe make independent requests to load it. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

(The image is requested in an <a-assets> <img> tag)

There's this bit of code in a-frame core:

https://github.com/aframevr/aframe/blob/a8b7ddcd13990596730d390269ec9256dd1c9ba3/src/core/a-assets.js#L180

I wonder if it's because the element is cloned if crossorigin is not set? And so two load requests are sent (one for the original, and then another for the clone)?
