I've encountered a similar bug with graphics in a saved notebook that
never left the hard drive it was originally stored on.  I get
"ImageSize->{288,-229.812}" instead of the figures Luc reports.  The
bug is repeatable, but seems to repeat only if I execute the entire
notebook before saving it.  This happens on a PowerMac 7200/120 under
Mac OS 7.5.5.

The erroneous value can be fixed with a text editor--just delete the
minus sign.  But this necessitates removing the cache data line as
well--or, at least, WRI says it does.
