Happened to me also. Disabling thumbnails is a workaround. I resolved the situation by converting the .tif in a .png with Gimp and editing the .svg file in Inkscape to embed the .png. Not sure if the type of file is the only thing that matters, I wonder if size has an importance. (Tif was 392KiB, Png 121KiB).
