I think I realize now what happened:

All image object that were affected had the Picture property set to the same picture file. Updating the PictureVal property updates the image then on all the images where the picture resource is set to the same file.

So the solution is:

loImage.Picture = ""
loImage.PictureVal = lcPicVal
