Subject: bug#21923: 24.4; Image refresh does not refreshed modified file

From: Sam Sinayoko <[email-masked]>

The image does not refresh even if it has been modified. The test below
opens an image in emacs, then swaps the image with a second (different)
image, before re-opening the first, now modified, image. Even after
refreshing the buffer with g, the image still looks like the original
image instead of the new one.

(defun img-bug ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((img1 "test1.png")
	(img2 "test2.png")
	(tmp  "tmp.png"))
    (find-file img1)
    ;; swap the two images by renaming them
    (copy-file img1 tmp t)
    (copy-file img2 img1 t)
    (copy-file tmp img2 t)
    (find-file img1)))
