It could be not so rare in your use patterns, but I was talking about
the average Emacs user out there.  The fact is we didn't (AFAIR) see
bug reports about such problems, and even reproducing this on my
machine needed some effort.  Which is not surprising, given the
particular relation between the default font size and the metrics and
position of the image needed to have the bug show itself.
