I have done some investigation into this problem (only with jpeg files) 
so here is a more accurate description of the issue.

When you start TeXmacs with the command texmacs (in a terminal) from 
your homedirectory, start a new document and begin to insert images, 
everything is fine, but if you the save this document in another 
directory (eg. ~/documents/) you can no longer insert (.jpg) images. 
The same applies when you open a saved document. The location of the 
images themselves does not seem to matter at all, only the location of 
the saved .tm file and the directory where TeXmacs is invoked from.

A quick workaround would be to navigate (cd ) to the directory where 
your files are and then start TeXmacs from there, if you are working 
with images (.jpg- files at least). It would be nice with a fix though 
(wink wink, nugde nugde :-)

I am running TeXmacs 1.0.3.3 on Mac OS X 10.3.3.
