I generally turn off image scaling for html and set contentwidth for
html (or use scale-down-to-fit for contentwidth and contentheight if
your fo renderer supports it).

That's a bug in the oxygen transformation scenario I guess. Image
handling can be quite tricky, especially if you plan to take xincludes
into account. I have a project here that illustrates the problem:

https://github.com/dwcramer/xinclude-example

One of our GSoC students has implemented a solution to copy images,
being careful not to overwrite images that have the same relative path
and file name but are xincluded from different files, but we haven't
merged that stuff into the trunk yet.
