Pages validate OK so long as all image tags end with "/>" rather than ">". Functionality unaltered by this change.

I've manually made the change in my own files, but could it be incorporated into the next release?

new unclosed_img_tags-1819130.patch41.04 KB

I think this is the patch you are looking for, I closed up all img tags.

The reason for this issue is because older sites, or even sites based off omega 2 or 3 use XHTML 1.0 Transitional Doctype.

I would recommend anyone at this point to upgrade their site to HTML5 doctype.
