If you didn't build without image (#undef USE_IMAGE), w3m options doesn't
contain the string "image", then emacs-w3m will automatically detect to set
w3m-treat-image-size to nil unless you specify it explicitly.
What version of emacs-w3m are you using?

Of course, w3m keep almost all options for backward compatibility.
I think there are little changes around here since w3m 0.3.1.
The only changes is that imgsize options (to specify w3mimgsize program path)
is obsoleted because w3mimgsize functionality is merged to w3mimgdisplay.
