I know that Document.ready – DONt wait for images to download.
So why it does here ?

(after each test – change the v=xxx in the img SRC)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script class="jsbin" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
alert('0');
});
</script>
</head>
<body >
<img src='http://musically.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Google-Logo.jpg?v=42333' />
</body>
</html>
I think, the problem comes out from JSBin.com
Because, when you try this example on JSFiddle.net, it works properly
