Firefox seems to load content in noscript tags when javascript is enabled

I can’t find any information about this, partially due to the badly named noscript extension, but it appears that firefox will load an image in a noscript block even when javascript is enabled.  This is troubling for my use because I’ve put a static google map on an app for those that do not have javascript and wrapped it in a noscript to avoid loading it when it’s not needed.  Now javascript users have to download the map twice, once static, once dynamic.  Definitely a waste. Maybe this is fixed in firefox 4.
