This is a bug, which I've now reported.
There are workarounds which involve constructing a Notebook[] expression on your
own with the right options to be rasterized. I could put together a simple
workaround for the basic cases for you if you like, but putting together one
that deals well with all of the various options for Image (or Rasterize, which
is what Image is doing behind the scenes) is more work than I can offer right
now.
Sincerely,
