I see this often and wonder how much I miss as a result. Imgur links neither render as a link nor an image. I only know it's a link to an image when I view it the same post via the WebUI or another app. I don't even realize these are images most of the time and just scroll past.
Is it simply not being handled yet? A bug? Design decision?

Interesting! This is the first time I'm seeing this bug.
