You should not need your first step. We don't use that on the Mahara Partners page and the image is still visible. If you have to put the image into a block on the page first and then re-use it in a text block then you have the image on the page twice which doesn't always work.
So the test case that doesn't work for me is:
1. Upload an image and copy its URL.
2. Link to the image in a text box.
3. Make the page viewable to the public / secret URL.
4. The image should be displayed when you are not logged in, but it isn't.
