Oops, this one was a bit too optimistic. :-)

I'm still running tests to see if any other code paths trigger the
assertion, but image creation calls this without the lock held (which is
harmless because nobody else knows about the image so there won't be
concurrent requests). The following patch is needed additionally to make
image creation work with the new assertion.
