Step 2 would have to come before step 1.  A "broken" image is also not
fully decodable, so step 1 would still return without throwing an exception
before step 2 happens.

I recommend leaving Firefox alone and changing WebKit (and the spec) to
match Firefox, because we already have interop (at least in the cases I
tested) between Firefox and IE, and we already have interop during loads in
all three.  Changing WebKit to throw after loading will get everyone doing
the same thing--changing Firefox will still leave IE out.

(I haven't tested with IE10, FWIW, only IE9.)
