I have contacts with multiple avatars. one of the avatar is from exchange email sync, another is from facebook.

when I change the avatar of the user, I am presented with a list of avatars I can pick from (one for exchange, one for facebook).

for some strange reason, I sometimes don't see the avatar for exchange. instead I see two avatars (which is correct) but both the avatars are the same - they are the ones from facebook.

I have a video that I can show to demonstrate this. you can view it here

This is actually due to the fact that you probably have both contact synchronization and IM services enabled for Facebook. The XMPP avatar and the contact Profile Picture are loaded separately if both of those services are enabled, and in most cases they are identical.

If the exchange avatar isn't being synchronized for some contacts, for whatever reason, that is a separate issue.

thank you for the answer. it's not a big deal, really. I just thought it was an odd behaviour.
