I was chatting a while ago with W. Macho and it was saying to me that it
had a similar problem, with all his ECWs rasters to render on top of
each other, as they don't had any referencing.

A few tests and we find the issue. It depends on the extension of the
file that (I guess) define the referencing. If the file is .aux then it
si fine for gdal, if it is .aux.xml (if I recall correctly) it seems
that gdal can't read the referencing.
