+1, I just gave this a try with the OP's test doc and the conversion went well with no flaws in the image.

I also tried my usual file massage using WordPad (open Word RTF in WordPad, touch text, and resave to strip out massive amounts of Word junk) but that failed to alter the images in any way that helped calibre convert them to JPEG during the RTF>EPUB conversion.

The image formats used in MS RTFs is nasty, to say the least. I used to be part of the Macromedia FreeHand development team and we were forever dealing with issues with these images.
