I don't see how *my* security, per se, could be fscked up in this case...
I get the error even logged in as Manager, and even if the
image has all permissions for anonymous.

time for a pdb session...
so far all I've found is that, indeed, app.some_folder.some_image.tag
has no docstring! Bizarre because I can see it in the sources.
It appears that the error means something pretty close to what it
says it means :-P
More digging to follow ...
