A picture "linked" to "http://pmg.pmgroup.be/enews/idb/grafiek9.jpg"; can
been opened and viewed in a writer and Html doc until 4.0 but no longer
since  4.2

you can use the link to test

is it a bug or wanted behaviour ?

Could this be related to this discussion:
  http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg36731.html
and bug 60415:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60415
?

If so, a workaround may be to use Paste Special and select Bitmap 
format. This would break the link to the original URL, and embed a copy 
of the image in the document. Whether or not that's acceptable to you 
obviously depends on what you're aiming to do.

Doesn't seem to affect all images, but the exact set of conditions for 
an image to cause a problem isn't clear...
