It's a known problem and it's present in the TODO file
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/mc/src/TODO?raw=1

"Click on a png image doesn't always work on remote vfs - local copy may
be deleted before the application has time to load it."

Perhaps the TODO item should be rephrased - the problem is more generic than it
sounds.
