New type of image spam

Seen: Spam using an INPUT tag, type=image, instead of an IMG tag. There is
no form tag, so clicking does nothing, but the image loads to screen. Below
is the complete body of a sample (included here since it is very short).

The string after id= varies per sample. I munged it here to 'aaaa'.

The image is a picture of text written in Chinese.
