I do see get the Security Error (info) in the JavaScript console. Both on a recent 1.5.0.10pre build and with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070114 Thunderbird/2.0b1 ID:2007011403

But AFAICT it doesn't cause any problems. The image gets sent and is displayed ok.

Upon clicking on "Write" the "Compose:" window opens.
On the menu bar between "Format" and "Tools" is "Option" with the drop down choice of "Format".  The "Auto-Detect" button is highlighted. When choosing the option of "Plain and rich (HTML) text" the program works and does not strip images from the message.

There does not seem to be an option to preset the "Option" choice to "Plain and rich (HTML) text" or to have the program maintain this setting once chosen.

Auto-Detect should not be stripping images from the html created message.  This also happens when forwarding messages that have images within them.
