Alex: Thanks for the response.
In generating samples for you to test, I discovered where the problem was. Because plain old $5000 AutoCAD can't insert a geo aligned image (only Map 3D can), I'd developed an application that would read the world file and insert the image. This is where the error turned out to be. My app wasn't able to adapt to differences in screen aspect ratio between systems. Since our users for this application were using $650 Bricscad - which can read a world file - we were able to get the same results on all of our QGIS installations. Sorry about that and thanks again.

Projection on the fly enabled? Got an image some of us can test with?
