I'm unable to reproduce this on the trunk.  I copied a .jpg file to
/tmp, started emacs -Q, `v' in the dired buffer, `M-x auto-revert-mode',
and then I edited the file in gimp.

Emacs said "Revering buffer 'foo.jpg'." and the new version of the image
was displayed.

(setq debug-on-quit t) usually works unless whatever is calling y-or-n-p
has disabled that.
