Just for the record, I'm using TeXmacs 1.0.6 on a Macintosh
(this is the version that comes from the fink project), and the menus
for doing this are slightly different.

* I used insert->table->plain tabular to get a table, and added a 2nd
column.

* I put my image in the 2nd column (where I wanted it).

* I clicked on the first column and used Table->Cell Width->Set Width
and entered the desired width when prompted (the cell width was
already in "exact mode" by default).

* I used Table->Special Cell Properties->Hyphenation->bottom to get
the effect I wanted.

That seems to work fine so far, though I do have to manually adjust
text that flows into the top from the lines above --- what I really
want is for TeXmacs to wrap text around a (preferably not necessarily
rectangular) image, but this is close enough for me.

No idea about the minipage thing.

It's possible to have multiline cells. Follow these steps that Joris sent
to
the list a few months ago:

"Use

        Table -> Width -> Paragraph

(for instance) to specify a width for the table and

        Cell -> Special properties -> Hyphenation -> Top

(for instance) to specify that the contents of a particular cell
should be wrapped. Hyphenation is now a property: you may make
all cells in a column or table hyphenatable."
