Slideshows in Google Wave?

Let me first say that I'm really enjoying Google Wave. But there is one feature that seems off. When you click on a single image it pops up in a nice little lightbox style display. You're presented some navigation to other images, but they don't actually do anything. If you want to view all the images in a given Wave you need to use the menu located at the bottom of every Wave. You'd select Images > View as slide show to get all the images to display in a nice, navigate-able lightbox. Doesn't really seem like that area of the application was thought through enough. A single image shouldn't have left and right navigation elements showing up. They managed to hide the "Play" button on single images. So what gives?

While this strange issue doesn't really affect the core functionality of the app, it does add some confusion to folks just starting to Wave. Hopefully Google will fix this in future versions.

UPDATE 3.24.2010
Google resolved my issue with this — no more singular image slideshows. Thanks G.
