Seems like the navigation history was intentional.

It feels very awkward to me.

I tend to agree - the back history isn't something I'd want to litter with picture enlargements.

It would work better if closing the picture was the same as pressing back (or at least removed the last entry).

Interesting; I may have to try that out.

It'll always feel awkward if you attach navigation history to a modal display.
