I installed the very old LC 1.0.1 in my openSUSE and made some tests:

open the attached file sink.dxf: good
insert it using library browser: good

open, insert sink_1.jpg and save as sink1.dxf:
open the file sink1.dxf: good
insert sink1.dxf using library browser: good

I tried to scale the image and works well.

In short, I can not reproduce any of the problems.

Is highly recommended that you upgrade your LC installation to 1.0.2 or more recomended 2.0.0-alpha4
even not a bad idea use daily-builds

Tips: in LC v2 you can use "Modify->properties" to vary the image scale or use "Modify->align" plugin
to move, rotate and scale image using two reference points

And in linux you have to restart the application the system is not needed

If updating LC do not work, another posibility is Qt, I use Q t4.8.1
