I wonder if it would be practical to fake it though through
GM_setValue and GM_getValue, though -- since these are persistant,
couldn't you keep data: URI's of the images in there? Performance will
suck when you have more than a few.

Another (better) option would be to run a web server on localhost, and
get Gm to snag your image turn around and HTTP Post them to your own
local storage app. Course, that's kind of a lot of work to cheat the
whole no-storing-files-locally restriction...
