The answer is NO.
It is normal behaviour for that sort of programs.
It simply illustrates that programs which are used to display a LOT of
UNKNOWN images from UNTRUSTED sources don't "care" at all about
security of the image libraries.
So IMO, there seem to be very little reason for Emacs to go through
hoops to enforce security for a FEW, usually well-KNOWN images (or
files) from (typically) TRUSTED sources (such as your own PC or
digital cameras).
