Strange image conversion problem ePub to mobi

Good afternoon all

- The background to this posting is that I have made an ePub book, and know that the XHTML and CSS validate to W3C standards and that the ebook itself validates with ePubCheck.
- The ebook contains several images, two of them black text on white background which show without problem in the original ePub version on my Sony reader, with ADE, and with the calibre viewer.
- But after converting the ebook to mobi with calibre the two images do not show in the mobi version when it is viewed on a Kindle, with the Kindle Previewer, or with the calibre viewer. There is nothing to show that an image is there at all.
- When I converted the ebook to mobi with earlier versions of calibre the two images did show on the Kindle, but I had no need to test them on with the Kindle Previewer or the calibre viewer.
- When I generate the mobi version by opening the ePub version with the Kindle Previewer the images do show on the resultant mobi version. There are other problems, but the images show as expected.
- I have attached the two images.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

I'll see if I can get the publisher's permission to upload the complete ebook if that would help.
