I know I'm late to this, but you should always create the issue and then close it. Otherwise, GitHub/Microsoft might, in the future, delete images that use this hack to basically turn GitHub into an upload site. How many people have started the process of opening an issue, uploaded an image, and then cancelled because they figured out the problem themselves or are abusing the CDN this way? Probably way more than have used this hack for repos. Those images occupy space on a drive somewhere and someone is going to want to reclaim that wasted storage space after a while.
