I found a related bug in the uudecode library some months back by setting
breakpoints in gdb in places in the code which deal with multi-parts.

If I could reproduce your bug I would try it again, starting with the code
in pan/gui/body-pane.cc.  There are several promising candidates like

GdkPixbuf* get_pixbuf_from_gmime_part (const GMimePart * part)
or
BodyPane :: append_part (GMimeObject * obj, GtkAllocation * widget_size)
or
  // if it's a picture, draw it
  if (is_image)
  {
    GdkPixbuf * original (get_pixbuf_from_gmime_part (part)); .....

and several more.  Seems like one of those places should turn up an
obvious error when presented with an inline image which doesn't display.

I did need to go back and recompile glib and gtk and gmime with debugging 
symbols before I could make any sense out of any of it.

Sadly, due to my genetically inbred need to pinch pennies, I don't have
an Apple machine on which I can test my own advice.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
