Summary:
in +(void)load for a ViewController, I was referencing an image using UIImage imageNamed:, and then capturing the image.size for later use. (We were creating a UIImage from [UIColor clearColor] and wanted it to have the same size as the referenced image asset) This was causing that image when later referenced to fail to find the @2x form for retina devices.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create viewController that displays a simple list of images, using [UIImage imageNamed:] with at least 2 variants, non-retina/retina.
2. Reference one of those images in +(void)load using [UIImage imageNamed:], and access the .size property.
3. Run this app on a Retina device.

Expected Results:
Expected all the retina images to load the asset for the appropriate image scale.

Actual Results:
The image referenced from +(void)load will only load the non-retina image, regardless of the device you run it on

Regression:
We first noticed this problem I believe on 7.0, but currently have only been testing on 7.1

Notes:
Workaround: Hardcode the imageSize manually instead of reading it from the asset, or lazy load the clearImage.
