Looking a bit into this, it seems that the decision about whether a
figure is already loaded is made in core-fig.tex, in
\def\calculateexternalfigure[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5][#6]%
...
\ifcase\figurestatus
\let\@@efframe\v!on
\let\@@efobject\v!no
\showmessage\m!figures1\@@effilename
\or
\showmessage\m!figures2\@@effullname
\or
\showmessage\m!figures3{\@@effullname,\@@eflenttype}%
\or
\showmessage\m!figures4\@@effullname
\or
\showmessage\m!figures5{\@@effullname,\@@efloadname}%
\or % no message
\doifnot\@@efsymbol\v!yes{\showmessage\m!figures8\@@effullname}%
\fi
...
The "no message" comment suggests that when \figurestatus isn't set,
the message shown is figures8, which is
8: figureobject -- is reused
But I couldn't figure out who sets \figurestatus and where the
judgement of 'already loaded' is made. The comment at the beginning
of the above \def ("this whole mess needs a clean up anyway") scared
me away :-)
