System Information
Archlinux
Nvidia GTX 460

Blender Version
Broken: 2.70.5

Short description of error
Undoing an action in the 3D view (in object mode) reverts any modifications to images.

I realize this is probably by design, as undoing (in object mode) reloads the entire .blend (and the texture isn't saved).
However I think it's a rather common mistake for the user to make (at least I do it all the time).
E.g. user does some painting/baking, then does something they don't want to do and instinctively presses Ctrl+Z. Then all the image modifications disappear without warning and are gone.
I hope you agree this is not the most convenient behavior ;)

Apologies if this has been discussed before (I couldn't find anything).
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open texture_undo_revert.blend (or create a new scene and image)
Paint on the image or otherwise modify it
Move the cube in the 3D view (in object mode)
Undo

This is a conflict between global and local undo in 3d viewport and texture painting. Explicitly mentioned it in the TODO list now http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/UserInterface#Undo_stack

Thanks for the report, but it's a design limitation, not a bug. We'll solve it outside of the bug tracker.
