Image related options in right-click menu missing sometimes

Usually there are many options for images when you right-click on an image on a web page: Open Image, Reload Image, Copy Image Address, Save Image and Copy Image. For example, if you click on an avatar image here in the opera forums you have all this options.

But sometimes they are missing! For example, try any of the avatar images on Soundcloud. It won't work: http://soundcloud.com/mehaia/09-07-11

Another problem is with background images. It's hard to access a background image with Opera, if at all.

You can't access background images via context menu. The only way I know is by downloading the whole page inc. images. The avatar images on Soundcloud are actually background images (= CSS properties of an HTML element), while here in MyOpera they are HTML <img> elements.

Inspect element will also work, but you'll have to wait for Dragonfly (Opera's debugger) to load.

But why does Opera not offer all image options for background images too?

I can think of many reasons, but the most important: Background images - as the name implies - are normally used as the background for a whole page. The context menu for a page couldn't be accessed anymore if the context menu for a (background) image would take precedence.
