No, it should not.
Though it is often requested.

I personally just do it via hook:

(add-hook! 'org-babel-after-execute-hook
  (unless (eq this-command 'org-babel-tangle)
    (org-display-inline-images nil nil
                               (save-excursion 
(org-back-to-heading-or-point-min t))
                               (save-excursion (or (outline-next-heading) 
(point-max))))))

Maybe one day someone™ can submit a patch ;)
