XMPP/Jabber Transport Buddy Icon support?

Are buddy icons currently supported on the XMPP/Jabber transport? I am using the IM Gateway 1.2.3 and when retrieving a vCard for a contact I only get the following response:

<iq type="get" to="user1\40jabber.instango.com@xmpp.jabber.instango.com" id="aadba" >
<vCard xmlns="vcard-temp" version="2.0" prodid="-//HandGen//NONSGML vGen v1.0//EN"></vCard>
</iq> <iq from="user1\40jabber.instango.com@xmpp.jabber.instango.com" type="result" id="aadba" to="user2@jabber.instango.com/smallhenrik" >
<vCard xmlns="vcard-temp">
<VERSION>2.0</VERSION>
<JABBERID>user1\40jabber.instango.com@xmpp.jabber.instango.com</JABBERID>
<NICKNAME>Henrik</NICKNAME>
</vCard>
</iq>

When I retrieve the vCard directly from another Jabber account a vCard including the buddy icon is correctly retrieved.

<iq type="get" to="user1@jabber.instango.com" id="aad3a" >
<vCard xmlns="vcard-temp" version="2.0" prodid="-//HandGen//NONSGML vGen v1.0//EN"></vCard>
</iq> <iq from="user1@jabber.instango.com" type="result" id="aad3a" to="user1@jabber.instango.com/Psi" >
<vCard xmlns="vcard-temp">

<BINVAL>iVBORw0(...)AElFTkSuQmCC</BINVAL>
</PHOTO>
</vCard>
</iq>
