You are absolutely right, it's all matter of what you pass as an image. I
guess you have a problem due to mixing of different sdk layers of objects
(use connection.get_image and pass it in connection.image.xxx). This is not
designed to work this way and may really show weird behavior.
You are advised to use directly conn.image.xxx methods. The so called cloud
layer (conn.get_xxx or self._connection) is designed to be a level above
the "proxy" and designed to give a higher level access. Those are generally
either to wrap multiple different operations in a single function or
normalize cloud differences. And it might return not completely compatible
objects (both are interpretation of the image, but not exchangeable). If
you want to use it this way you should pass image.id (image['id']) into
other functions.
I know this is a bit weird, but there are reasons for that.
