While AbsoluteCurrentValue returns values, it is not the actual ImageSize of the original graphic.
g = Plot[Sin[y], {y, 0, 6 Pi}]
AbsoluteCurrentValue[g, ImageSize]
{400, 400}
g2 = Plot[Sin[y], {y, 0, 6 Pi},
ImageSize -> AbsoluteCurrentValue[g, ImageSize]]

AbsoluteCurrentValue[g, ImageSize] works for me, but I'm at loss as to
why AbsoluteOptions doesn't work.
Perhaps the documentation should be improved. Shall we start a thread
on that? ;-)
