Simple: do not use image clipping in TeXmacs. I really do not see what
is the use of this feature... maybe it has something to do with LaTeX
compatibility.

If you want to clip an image, use an specialized tool. Personnally, I
use GIMP, which can take snapshot (restricted to X11 on OSX), perform
colorspace conversions (64 indexed colors takes less space and lose no
quality for most snapshots) and can export to PostScript.

TeXmacs is NOT a LaTeX front-end and is unrelated to emacs.
