Thanks, John. It certainly seems that hyperref is at least partially to
blame here. I'll have to check on what the developers consider a 3rd

gets very complicated.

I first saw the problem when I was using actual images, so I knew it
wasn't that.

Seems plausible.

Thanks again, John. I'll look into this and report back whatever I find.
