Okay, I tried this, using the TOPO ADDE dataset.  The image shows up
on all frames since it's time is out of the main bounds.  But still
I only got what was showing on the frame.

We had a bug like this a while back, but that was fixed.  I tried putting
on forecast fronts and still didn't get the problem you are seeing.  There
must be some other piece of info that we are missing.

Can you send me a bundle with this problem?  Is this an old bundle or a 
newer one?

I would also suggest trying the latest nightly build to see if that clears
up any issues.
