Change of "src" attribute does not change image in IE8 - in IE rotated object has to be visible to be able to rotate

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create <img> that points to some image and is wrapped in <a> (<a> has 
position:absolute) + add some button or link that will call some JS later
2. Rotate <img> on page load as usually, i.e. $("img").rotate(10);
3. Then click on button, or whatever, that will call JS which will change "src" 
attribute of <img> to different image path.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The image is expected to be changed to new path, keeping rotation, styling, etc.
Instead, in IE8- you see the same old image. In IE9, FF3+, Chrome you see new 
image.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Tried 1.8 and 2.1. Windows 7/XP.

Please provide any additional information below.
Imagine it in situation where you have a gallery of thumbnails with one full 
sized rotated image and by clicking a thumbnail it's switching with the full 
sized one :)
