Public bug reported:

When importing Ubuntu.Components, the base Image QML type is enhanced
(with the UCQQuickImageExtension class) to add transparent support for
scaling assets.

This breaks the emission of the sourceChanged signal. Application
developers cannot implement the onSourceChanged slot to be notified of
changes to the value of the 'source' property, and this isn’t documented
anywhere.

Another issue I’m observing with this custom extension is that an image
is not reloaded if I do the following, and invoke the reload() function
on the image (this works if I comment out the import of
Ubuntu.Components):

    Image {
        cache: false
        function reload() {
            var s = source
            source = ""
            source = s
        }
    }

Similarly (and maybe even more worrying), actually changing the value of
the source property (by appending a fragment to the URL) doesn’t trigger
a reload either, as demonstrated by the attached example (requires a
random image named "test.jpg" in the same folder).
