I've done quite a few books where these and the art on the title page are the only graphics in the book (mostly novels) so it's no problem there. For books with a lot of illustrations for which I want to preserve formatting, I've kept the option checked and done a grep find/change for all the links after the fact in dreamweaver and delete all but one of the images. It's easy but it is another step and doesn't help toward the goal I'm sure we all have of getting a finished product out of InDesign (though this may never be completely possible).

Another thing I should mention, when I have simple line drawing vector graphics (which these little break graphics usually are) InDesign does a poor job of anti-aliasing the image. I'm better off using Photoshop to generate these graphics. But I like to use vector graphics for the print edition of the book so that's what I have in InDesign. So I just overwrite the InDesign version with the Photoshop one after my epub is generated. It'll be great when SVG is supported. Is that supposed to happen in EPUB 3.0?
