This is simply not true.
You can convince yourself of it by using 'get_image' from boto.
   euca_conn.get_image(image_ids[0])
or
   images = euca_conn.get_all_images(image_ids=image_ids, None, None)

The former will return 1 image, the latter, given a valid list, will
return that number.

I'll play with this some more tomorrow. The work around of locally
filtering everything can obviously be made to work, but its terribly
wasteful.
