Not sure why you expected that.  Perhaps you thought that forward-char
will move to after the image?  But that is a feature of the command
loop, and happens only after a command finishes, and Emacs is back to
the command loop.  It doesn't happen in the middle of a Lisp program.
So what your program did is insert a newline character in the middle
of text covered by a 'display' text property, and then the behavior
you observe is expected, right?

If I modify your program as follows:

  (let ((inserted (cadr (insert-image-file "test.png"))))
    (goto-char (1+ inserted))
    (newline-and-indent))

then only one image is displayed, on line 1.

If what forward-char does in this case is not the reason for your
expectations, please tell more about your reasoning.
