System Information
Operating system and graphics card

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.69.7 4b206af, see splash screen)
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps
I am using Blender GIT Rev 2014-01-18-09-13-51-96e9c67
on a Fedora 20 Linux 64Bit Box, with an Intel 3000 HD gfx.

I noticed that when using an Empty and setting it as an Image
Empty and selecting it's source to be an Image Sequence, it
seems not to work (the image frames do not seem to be found).
If I swith the source of the empty to a single image though
it will display the single image.

The same images added to an image sequence strip in the VSE get
found ok.

I have attached a zip file which has a blend file and 3 image
frames that are used in the Blend file as an image sequence on
an Image Empty.

I can't tell if this is a bug or me doing it wrong, I just
know that the 3 images added as an image sequence to vse work.

Files of an image sequence must have trailing increasing numbers, not heading ones.

Note the sequencer works differently for image sequences, as you have to select all the files of the sequence when importing them (so you can use virtually any kind of file names for seq sequences)…
