Ok, then you get the same problematic result as I do. The images should
be the same (both shaded), but they are not.

:D

In principle, by deleting the auxiliary files:
untitled-1.mzz and untitled-1.memo*
But as the second pass was unsuccessful, there should be no .memo* files
and you should always get the same result as in the first pass.

Or by renaming the document ;-)

But if what you say about the resulting PDF above is true, I don't need
to see the pdf anyway --- you have replicated the problem.

What happens if you compile using -no-pdf + xdvipdfmx as suggested in
the issue? Do you get the warning? And if you reshuffle the pages, is it
gone?

You should only need two: memoize.sty and xparse-arglist.sty, which you
have.
