Img height and width attributes set to 0 for all slides except first

I'm having an issue with the slideshows on my site. The first slide always displays correctly, but the image on all subsequent slides is not visible. After digging into the html, it looks like the height and width attributes of the <img> tags are getting set to 0.

Other elements within the slide display correctly. The css for opacity and display function correctly during transitions. However, the height and width attributes never get changed, so the image isn't visible on the slide. I hunted through the js for the module and couldn't find where the height and width of the images are manipulated. I checked it in Chrome, Firefox and Safari, and the problem presented consistently. I also checked theme's style.css to make sure that there was nothing like .views_slideshow_slide img {display:none;}, which would possibly account for why the javascript would calculate the img's height and width as 0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Example:
Slide 2 on http://www.spertus.edu/node/561

The markup before js executes:
<img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://localhost/sites/default/files/styles/gallery_photo/public/photos/Tom-Friedman.jpg?itok=qZ2w5XAz" width="344" height="230" alt="" />

After $(document).ready():
<img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://localhost/sites/default/files/styles/gallery_photo/public/photos/Tom-Friedman.jpg?itok=qZ2w5XAz" width="0" height="0" alt="">
