Disable prev/next loop for single-entry image gallery page

Is it possible to hide previous link when first image in the gallery is shown, and hide next link when last image is shown?

Something similar to weblog pagination:

{if previous_page}
<a href="http://{auto_path}">Previous Page</a>  
{/if}

{if next_page}
<a href="http://{auto_path}">Next Page</a>
{/if}

This tags don’t seem to work for image gallery pages.

Found this in documentation: http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/gallery/next_prev_entries.html

Note: If you are viewing the most recent entry in your gallery, then the “next_entry” tag’s contents will not be shown (since there is no “next entry”). Likewise, when you are viewing the oldest/first entry in the gallery the “previous_entry” content will not be shown.

Doesn’t seem to work as noted. Is this a bug?
