Thanks for spotting these! However, in those two cases it doesn't seems to have
anything to do with the blog migration. These two images were hotlinked from
URLs that no longer exist, and were broken on the old (pre-relaunch) blog
already. (In [2], the source code contains
'src="http://2007.recentchangescamp.org/images/RCC2006Logo.png";' which
Wordpress.com automatically converts to
'src="https://i0.wp.com/2007.recentchangescamp.org/images/RCC2006Logo.png";' in
the displayed HTML. Actually, we nowadays regard hotlinking images from such
third-party domains - here, recentchangescamp.org - as incompatible with the
blog's privacy expectations anyway.) In other words, it's a content issue, not
an issue with the blog's technical setup.
That said, there are other posts where thumbnails from locally stored images
(i.e. the blog's own media library) indeed broke during the migration,
apparently because a scaling parameter is not properly supported. Examples:
