Well, I was afraid of that...

I think it makes sense to attack this from the point of view of the
image, not the container. Ie.
If the image is larger, its truncated.
If the image is smaller, its stretched.
Truncation is a little bit like the null case, Ie. nothing is
done to the image. So I think I'd still go with stretched.
