Do you specify a size for the images (in the html or in the css) ?
If the answer is no, then possibly IE8 is too slow in fetching the  
intrinsic dimensions of the images and can't resize the inline-block  
on first pass.
On reload, it already 'knows' (from cache) the size of the images and  
can reflow the blocks correctly.

I haven't been able to repro this in the release version of IE 8, btw,  
but perhaps it depends on network access. Testing from a VM is not  
always the most reliable set up for performance tests.
