When loading large number of images, images begin to fail to load in IE11 with DOM: 7009 error (unable to decode) in console

When loading many images on a single page in IE (reproduced in IE11), some of them begin to fail to load, and have something similar to the following warning in the console:

DOM7009: Unable to decode image at URL: '[some unique url]'.

When I look at the network traffic, there does appear to valid responses received for each of these images from the server. It's not always the same images each time. If I use the dev tools to force the image to reload (example: I update the url to include some some extraneous url parameter "&test=1"), it loads/renders normally without error. I've reproduced this behavior with different types of images (jpegs/pngs; example png included below).  
Apologies for the cross-posting.  I wasn't sure what the particular etiquette was for that - I've also posted this issue on StackOverflow and MS Connect under the same title.  If one of those is a more appropriate place for this matter, please let me know and I'll close this issue.
