Image thumbnail goes bad after one page view

[King Olami]

For some reason yet unknown to me, a product's thumbnails disappear from view after just a single load of a page (both in Dashboard and Product Detail view) because the template seems to be truncating the URLs. This problem doesn't happen to statics at all.

To replicate:

1. Upload an image for a product using the dashboard. The image gets stored in the correct S3 bucket, media path,is accessible by all, and so on. (confirmed with django admin, AWS Console and sorl debug logging)

2. System returns the correct working URL https://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/media/cache/XXX/YYY/ZZZ.jpg that works on first page view request.

3. Reload the page. System returns broken URL https://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/cache/XXX/YYY/ZZZ.jpg (missing 'media' path)

4. Running python manage.py thumbnail cleanup, python manage.py thumbnail clear, restart gunicorn takes up back to step 2


Am I missing something? Should I be looking at sorl.thumbnail or oscar templates?
