Images produce unlink icon when copied locally

No. In fact, in that topic the first image (jpeg from Wikimedia Commons) is successfully copied locally and displayed while the other two (png from our Discourse) are not. See https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/new-advanced-mobile-contribution-features-coming-to-mobile/437

I wonder whether file format, image size or file size have anything to do with this problem. png’s are allowed in our instance. We are running v2.4.0.beta1 +50.
