Indeed. iOS is broken in a way we can't work around it in every case.

If the picture currently attached to the contact originated on the the  
device *originally*, then it correctly sends the image data with every  
edit. If the image currently attached was provided by the server  
originally, then the edit will NOT include the picture data and will  
be removed on the server with edits. However, the image will remain on  
the client. If you then edit the image on the client, the image data  
will be resent to the server.

I think I am going to add a user pref to ignore image deletions from  
iOS devices that way admins/users can decide if not being able to  
remove images client-side is a worthy trade-off.
