So, does this mean a clear profile solved the issue for you? Can you also check
what happens if you change the option after you copy back your original user
data? (was it checked, and does unchecking it also make the images appear?)

It's somewhat more secure. If the linked content is in an unknown place, they
can be more easily be replaced by attackers, while if it's in your document,
they have to get hold of the document, tamper with it, and replace the original
file (digitally signing the document can protect against that). I'm not sure
how relevant it is for images in particular, it's more of a general basic
security feature.
