It's by no means normal behavior, but that doesn't mean that
what's happening for you isn't expected. Are you clicking a link to
the image and getting the 404 error? If that's the case, it could be
that your session is dying or expiring when you leave the sanctity of
the page.
Also, check and see what is included in the 404 response. Is it a
custom page? Right-click the missing image and click "view image" to
view the configured 404 response. There may be a page that is
instantiating its own session, destroying all sessions, or doing
something else that you really don't like.
