Afaik, you cannot uv-map an object pattern like an image_map as that is 
all about intersections of objects: your patterned object intersects the 
main object or not and uses the given pigments for inside and outside. 
In fact, you do not even need uv-mapping in that case. What you need is 
making sure that your pattern object (i.e. the torus) interects your 
primary object (i.e. the triangle) each time you invoke the texture. The 
torus does not move if you do not tell it to specifically. It does not 
move by a texture translate.

Afaik, this is normal behaviour. Just my two-and-a half cents
