What happened:

When loading a locally built container image into Kind using kind load, the image is loaded with image name docker.io/library/import-2026-06-03 instead of the actual image name resulting in Pod execution failing with the following error failed to check if this is a checkpoint image: failed to get image from containerd "sha256:3fbc3cf1b5e7922419ed6384191945b160318091f9cc14a28e5a6ea3f44ffb73": image "docker.io/library/import-2026-06-03@sha256:0770b7184dd7f5e7b4ff19c10d7eaea627831e266bc8f1277ba4c1109992134e": not found

Images were loaded to Kind correctly in v0.31.0

What you expected to happen: Locally built image to be loaded with correct name
