Thanks for your feedback and insisting on your observations ;-)

I confirm your findings, but they are simply bugs ;-)

--- showing thumbnails when giving absolute path
- if you add an image filename with absolute path to the script, you see the filename (no thumbnail)
- after saving and reopening the script, a thumbnail is shown and the path is stripped from the image filename. Saving the script again and reopen it, you will find, that the image filename is shown with the path stripped (but no thumbnail), so on run you get an image file not found error(and a FindFailed, since Sikuli tries to search for the image filename text now)
- clicking on such a corrupted thumbnail, gives an error in the IDE, because the image file cannot be found (no Preview started)

workaround:
divide the path string into 2 concatenated substrings:
"absolute-path-to-image-folder"+"some-image.png"

This will not be touched by the thumbnail logic on script open.

I will look wether this is already bug reported or even solved in r930.

You found another workaround:
Setting the image path to the image folder lets Sikuli find the image despite having this stripped, corrupted file name.
