I, for one, am very glad that TB won't display external images, and
it's the main reason why I was prepared to pay for TB rather than use
one of the numerous freebie MUAs.

External images can be used for malevolent purposes. For example, as
web beacons to track your usage, or for spammers to verify your e-mail
address. So, yes, displaying html images direct from the web in e-mail
can hurt.
