Featured images missing in Reader

As noted here:

I noted one issue occurring on trunk that appears unrelated to these changes: None of the WordPress.com News post featured images loaded in the Android app. Featured images from other sites—e.g., The Atavist Magazine—do load.

It appears that when loading featured images here, the image isn't being shown. Examples below work fine in the browser but not the app:

Problem occurs not just in reader detail but also reader list and reader photo viewer. Logcat shows this:

NetworkDispatcher.processRequest: Unhandled exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot make a new request because the previous response is still open: please call response.close()

This happens with posts from WordPress.com News but not other blogs I tried.

Possibly (likely?) related to the above, it appears our CustomRedirectInterceptor doesn't close the existing connection upon redirect.

Update: Closing the existing connection does solve this problem, but not sure of any side effects.
