Hi,
<sarcasm> usually I never work with this strange image stuff, so it's no
wonder that I never came across this error message.</sarcasm>
I personally like to have a difference between an image, which is
basically a matrix of values and a graphics, which is in Mathematicas
case often a set of lines, points, surfaces, etc in a coordinate system.
For an image it is not clear from the start in what coordinate system
the matrix lies. That's why the former Graphics[Raster[]] contained a
parameter to tell the underlying bounding box.

Maybe you should consider that there are people who have a different
understanding of the underlying paradigm and that it's sometimes better
just to ask and not to question the whole idea:
img = Import[
"http://felfire.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/sarcasm.jpg";];
gr = DensityPlot[Sin[x]*Sin[y], {x, -Pi, Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi},
ImageMargins -> None, PlotRangePadding -> None,
Frame -> False];
ImageResize[ImageCompose[img, {gr, 0.8}], 150]
Hope this helps,
Cheers
Patrick
