Michel,
That's not a bug. ImageMap inherits from Image (and all objects inherit from object).

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image
 System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageMap

That means ImageMap is Image (and it's also of type object).
You can check if it's Image and not ImageMap (and ImageButton which is another in the namespace hierarchy). Or alternatively you can check:

if ( loControl.GetType() == System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image )
