Imagecache Profiles does not work with Drupal for Facebook (connect)

Here is the link to the issue I posted in Drupal for Facebook Connect http://drupal.org/node/1122102.

Upon further investigation it appears drupal for facebook connect is using the override function fb_connect_theme_user_picture_override and returning $orig;, Since this is a theme override function it takes precedence over everything and anything that acts on the preprocess_user_picture (which is used in imagecache profiles and other modules).

So it appears the issue is with the drupal for facebook connect.

/**
* Our replacement for theme('user_picture', ...)
*/
function fb_connect_theme_user_picture_override($variables) {
$account = $variables['account'];
// Markup without fb_connect.
$orig = theme('fb_connect_user_picture_orig', array('account' => $account));

// Respect Drupal's profile pic, if uploaded.
if (isset($account->picture) && $account->picture) {
return $orig;
}

if ($fbu = fb_get_object_fbu($account)) {
$output = theme('fb_user_picture', array(
'fbu' => $fbu,
'account' => $account,
'orig' => $orig,
));
}
else {
$output = $orig;
}
return $output;
}

What is the best approach to reconcile this? I could modify the function fb_connect_theme_user_picture_override and change it's output to something that would respect the re-sized user profile pic, that's simple. The harder question for me is how do I send the facebook profile picture to drupal? These may be better questions for the drupal for facebook issue, but it's good to have it here incase anyone else runs into the same issue. I'm going to attempt to write a simple module that at best will fix this issue, at worst just remove profile picture handling from facebook connect and just using it for login authenticatino, because imagecache profiles is an absolute necessity for my purposes.
