Drupal image_import Improper Assignment of Public Viewing Rights

Description

See my previous issue Upload succeeds, but "File copy failed" for my drupal system configuration, which has not changed.

Problem:
When using image_import to upload multiple images, the resulting image nodes are visible only to the administrator account. Upon editing the image node and re-saving, the image becomes visible.

A possible cause is interaction with the user group (og) module, active in my configuration. My og module version is:
// $Id: og.module,v 1.53.2.30 2005/07/16 00:43:28 weitzman Exp $
When I call up the newly-uploaded "invisible" image node for edit, the "Public" option is already checked, but I suspect that this is not really true.

Looking directly at my drupal database, the only field in the node table that changes when the node is re-saved is the "format" field. I believe the issue is somewhere in the interaction between the og, image, and image_import modules, and possibly the taxonomy module. I am continuing to troubleshoot, but so far I am limited by my evolving but rudimentary knowledge of Drupal's data structures and internal workflow.

Any thoughts as to the cause of this?

Update:

There are no records in the node_access table for the "invisible" image nodes that have been added using image_import. By manually creating an entry, the image becomes visible:

mysql> insert into node_access (gid, realm, grant_view, grant_update, grant_delete, nid) values (0, 'og_group', 1,0,0,17064);
Why this record is created when a single image node is added but is not created by image_upload remains a mystery.
