I reported bug 35377 and also made a comment here for the same bug.
For me it looks pretty much the same.

There are many methods to cancel image loading:

img.setAttribute("src","");
img.src="";
img.parentNode.innerHTML="";
img.parentNode.textContent="";
img.parentNode.removeChild(img);
img.parentNode.replaceChild(img2);
(maybe not complete)


btw. when I reported this bug I was in Cambodia and had a slow internet connection. Bandwidth was about 300 kBit shared for a guesthouse, the ping indicated that it was a satellite link.
Under this conditions webkit browsers are not the first choice mainly because of the bug I think.
Now I'm connected to the internet with a 10MBit line again and here I don't feel a bad impact of the bug. To find a good solution, the programmer maybe should simulate slow internet speed as you find in many parts of this world.
"netem" could do that for example.
