I have been able to reproduce the problem using Emacs 30, in
case Christopher Howard wants to report it (using M-x
report-emacs-bug).

1. emacs -Q
2. (setopt eww-retrieve-url 'sync)
3. M-x eww RET
4. At the prompt "Enter URL or keywords: ", enter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine
5. Scroll down many screens (the initial Wikipedia logo is
   displayed) until the first submarine image is displayed.
   Below it is a gray box for a missing image.
6. Type ‘g’, which is bound to the command ‘eww-reload’, by
   default.
7. After the page is reloaded, the second image will be
   displayed (another submarine).
8. Scroll many more screens to see that some additional
   images have been downloaded, but many gray boxes still
   appear.  It then requires multiple reloads to get all of
   the images to download.
