So a new copy is saved and displayed in the profile box. Without the timestamp, calling profile_setFBML with an image that had already been used would not refresh the image but would re-use the cached copy. Hence, when the image caching bug rears its ugly head (leaving broken images in your profile box) you can force FB to use a new copy of the image using this trick.
