How to ensure CSS :hover is applied to dynamically added element

I have a script that adds full images dynamically over thumbnails when you hover over them. I've also given the full images a CSS :hover style to make them expand to a larger width (where normally they are constrained to the dimensions of the thumbnail). This works fine if the image loads quickly or is cached, but if the full image takes a long time to load and you don't move the mouse while it's loading, then once it does appear it will usually stay at the thumbnail width (the non-:hover style) until you move the mouse again. I get this behavior in all browsers that I've tried it in. I'm wondering if this is a bug, and if there's a way to fix or work around it.

It may be worth noting that I've also tried to do the same thing in Javascript with .on('mouseenter'), and encountered the same problem.

Due to the nature of the issue, it can be hard to reproduce, especially if you have a fast connection. I chose a largish photo from Wikipedia to demonstrate, but to make it work you might have to change it to something especially large or from a slow domain. Also note that you may have to clear the cache for successive retries.

If you still can't reproduce, you can add an artificial delay to the fullimage.load before the call to anchor.show().

HTML:

<img id="image" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Cairo_International_Stadium.jpg/220px-Cairo_International_Stadium.jpg" />

CSS:

.kiyuras-image {
    position: absolute;
    top: 8px;
    left: 8px;
    max-width: 220px;
}

.kiyuras-image:hover {
    max-width: 400px;
}

JS:

$(function () {

    var fullimageurl = 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Cairo_International_Stadium.jpg';

    var fullimage = $('<img/>')
        .addClass('kiyuras-image')
        .load(function () {
            anchor.show();
        });
