Weird isn't it? Still, it's true.

I don't know exactly what is happening but, I think, the root part of
the problem comes from here in loadup.el.

(if (fboundp 'x-create-frame)
    (progn
      (load "fringe")
      ;; Needed by `imagemagick-register-types'
      (load "emacs-lisp/regexp-opt")
      (load "image")
      (load "international/fontset")
      (load "dnd")
      (load "tool-bar")))


What this means, AFAICT, is that in a --with-x build, x-create-frame
will exist, so image.el will be loaded and dumped. But, in a -without-x
build it will not be, so it must, therefore, be autoloaded if it used.
