It's certainly not a great experience, but it can make sense. For example, maybe as the viewport gets wider, more of the image map is made visible. Also, the resolution-changing feature still makes sense with both.

Closing since it can make sense so we wouldn't want to make it non-conforming, and it's not clear what other path of action this bug might have.
