  I said "to a multiple of <1,1,1>", not "to <1,1,1>".

  The checker pattern actually starts from <0,0,0> (the first cube from
that to positive axes is colored as the first color given).

  The image_map pigment works in the same way as checker (unless you
specify the 'once' keyword), which is consistent and logical.

  Also think how UV-mapping works by default: The texture will be taken
from <0,0,0> to <1,1,0>. If you just create an image_map, it will work
right away with an uv-mapped object.
