Yes, Stephen, I've seen this too. In my case the referenced image was  
in a library stack. I was careful to make sure the image id was  
unique, but until I click on the button the image doesn't appear. I  
*think* that explicitly assigning the image id to the icon in a  
preOpenCard handler reduces the frequency of this problem, but doesn't  
eliminate it.

Another detail, possibly important. The button in question is on the  
first card of the stack. Other button icons on other cards also  
reference images in my library stack, but they seem to appear reliably  
all the time.
