me/photos and albums not returning all photos

When I make a request to me/photos I should expect to get all photos that I've been tagged in. However, I am not getting this behavior. There seems to be a few pictures here and there that are missing from the JSON results. When I go on FB, they are visible to me.

This is happening to some albums as well.

Any thoughts?

Facebook's App Settings page allows users to change the exposure of their content to applications other people use.

If I have prevented applications from viewing my photos, when you login to a Facebook application you will not be able to see any photos I have uploaded. This is still the case even if I have tagged you in my photos.

If you, however, visit the Facebook website directly you will be able to see all the photos you have been tagged in.

This accounts for the discrepancy we have been seeing.

Tested using 2 Facebook accounts.
