In the absence of the strange image I used the pythonpowered image from the reportlab tests folder. I find I am seeing 
the 'ghost' image with the original sizes. However, if I change the width/height for both then I see two images only for 
smaller images. I suspect there is some kind of attempt to wrap split etc etc.

Can you say what version you are using and have you changed recently. I find thet I am seeing problems when the image 
height is too large. If you remember that the standard frame has padding of 6 then the maximum height will be 1cm - 12 
ie about 16 so we are probably seeing the effect of some kind of overflow. I don't normally try to use paragraphs like 
this with frames. I will try and take a look deeper to see exactly what causes the replicant.
