I think I figured out the problem:
In Main.pm (Line 2059) I guess the line shall be
      $cmd .= "-M 1 ";
in stead of
      $cmd .= "-M 0 ";
 
Otherwise it seems that plucker does not follow the <img src=""> tags.
 
Let me guess you use the feature of multiple pages per file, in that case
it executes the code       $cmd .= "-M 3 -E \"".$excludefile."\" ";
instead.

One could also choose to consider it as a bug of plucker, since even when
following zero depth links (i.e. none), it should convert the
"embedded" images which  is kind of on level 0.
