Actually, that particular "FIXME" you are referring to would not change this
at all (it would only allow to disable the additional information in that
line).  The code is actually in the expected state, but that "FIXME" never
got removed...

likely to get dropped as it is hardly used at all and makes cleaning up the
image preview code difficult anyway.
