This happens when a post has two URLs (1) a thumbnail URL and (2) a source URL. The app tries to be smart and check if the thumbnail is cached first. If the thumbnail is cached, the app shows the thumbnail and then tries to load the source image. If the source image fails to load then you get this state.
Although this state sucks, I think for the time being it's ok. The only thing I can think of to make it look better is to maybe add a translucent background to the error. Also, there is still a way for users to "dismiss" the error. In this case, there should be a HD button at the bottom. Tapping it will tell the app you want to view the thumbnail and should dismiss the error.
