Comment:

 Thanks for the report, and patch @webmandesign.

 It does seem strange that the $header object would be directly overridden
 in `get_header_image_tag()` to supply the URL from `get_header_image()`.
 It's be worth looking at the change history to see what's happening here.
 Generally, I would prefer to see a filter in `get_custom_header()` in
 order to override any properties of the header object, but that would
 require figuring out if we could drop the call to `get_header_image()`
 from inside `get_header_image_tag()`.
