I'va managed to isolate the problem: it is connected to procedure of 
duplicating and deleting entries from database. With following steps i (and 
probably you) can reproduce the bug.

First i updated my database by removing ALL images from entries and updating 
them from internet sources. It produced the file You can download here:

http://www.ceti.pl/~wozniakk/tc/CleanFull.tc

The file has 571 entries and 298 images, there are no invalid links in it.

Steps to reproduce bug:

1. Open the file
2. Duplicate entry DVD-014 - Teletubies
3. Duplicate once more time the same entry DVD-014 - Teletubies
4. Delete original entry and one duplicated entry
5. Save file
6. Exit tellico
7. Open file once more and we have one image missing:

tellico: ***ImageFactory::imageById() - not found: 
e103d2c9ee0ae28ecc2ab660035efb2a.jpeg
tellico: ImageFactory::writeImage() - null image: 
e103d2c9ee0ae28ecc2ab660035efb2a.jpeg
tellico: Document::slotWriteAllImages() - entry title: Pitch Black

It is very reproducible, i have exactly the same picture missing every time i 
follow this procedure.
The bug is connected to procedures of duplicating and deleting entries but 
only entries with images (last time i was cleaning my database and such 
operations was very frequent)

i commented out this flag, but the bug is still there :-(
