Sorry for the previous message, I got bitten by an unwise keybinding in 
KMail :(... Here is the complete message.

Thanks for the detailed report, however it would be more helpful if you 
specified the TeXmacs version you are using, your operating system, and a 
web address where we can find the document and the image causing the 
problem.

I cannot help much about the garbled preview, AFIAK TeXmacs embeds 
GhostScript for displaying images on screen, so cheking how the image 
displays in GhostView might be helpful.

About the "file not found" problem, it might be an occurence of a 
reported bug (I have not tried to reproduce it in recent versions of 
TeXmacs, though):

http://alqua.com/tmresources/bug%20-%20included%20image%20in%20newly%20created%20document

If your problem is caused by that bug, TeXmacs is actually looking for 
'home/chris/images/test.ps', because base path of a document is not 
updated by "Save as". If you save, close and reopen your thesis.tm 
document, the working directory will be set correctly and the image will 
be displayed.
