On my computer rather than seeing the image import as an image, it sees it as a "rectangle".
I attempted to uninstall inkscape and install the version that was on the other computer, but I get the same "rectangle" import. Very strange. SO, definetely an environment problem. But, I have no idea what.
Perhaps you have selected the option to import images as filled rectangles. Document preferences, 'misc' tab, "import bitmap as <image>" should be turned on to get an image, off to get a rectangle.
