It seems that the use of these legacy images in search results weren’t subject to the same change in handling of genre images in 1.8 - the automatic use (on the main genre page and on the specific genre pages) of the image of the artist with the most albums tagged with that genre + plays of their albums with the same tag (I think per a session, but I’m not 100% on that).
