Using version 5 with Mac OS X, I get similar but not identical results. Here, the ImageMargins start at {{103,0},{0,0}} with the first click changing them to {{154,0},{0,0}}. If I quickly click, subsequenct clicks may or may not cause a futher move. If I click an hold momentarily, subseqent clicks cause further moves until the ImageMargins reach {{205,0},{0,0}}. At this point, futher clicks do not cause further motion.
If I drag the image to the left, it restores to the original ImageMargins --- {{103,0},{0,0}} even though I drag the image further left than these coordinates. That is the image jumps to these coordinates when the mouse button is released. I can then click without moving the mouse and watch the image move back to {{205,0},{0,0}}.
I did not experience a crash while doing this. But that may be becuase I didn't have enough patience and do enough clicking. Also, I could be related to the amount of memory installed. I have 1GByte of RAM installed
