If I disable both image and image_filter, I get the following message on the admin/modules page:

The image_filter module relies on image.module. Please go to the modules section of administration to turn on image.module.

Other modules only display this information if you attempt to enable them and their dependencies are not enabled. I don't need to see this every time I load the modules admin page unless I'm actually using image-type nodes.

Hmmm. I was able to reproduce this. It looks like the communcation between the various parts of Drupal that use drupal_set_message()/drupal_get_message() are somewhat asynchronous, and when going from a image_filter enabled and image disabled state to a image_filter disabled and image disabled state you can sometimes get a spurious error message. If you refresh the page, the error goes away. The fix isn't obvious to me, but I will leave this issue open.

I believe that changes to how the module dependencies are handled in Drupal 5.x have solved this bug.
