Any errors related to the image, however, cause the ImageFailed event from the UriImageProvider.Image property to fire repeatedly and never stop. This has been caused by 404 File Not found errors from missing images and also by a strange issue with Internet Explorer where large PNG images sometimes won't show.

Workaround:
Remove the image provider that works incorrectly using the Image.ImageFailed event.
