Why are you still using 1.3.3.14? The release candidates for 1.4.0 are more up 
to date  as are the versions from 1.3.5 to 1.3.9.  I recognize that 1.3.3.14 
is the only one considered "stable". but the fact that snapshots of 1.4.0 
release candidate 3 are made available menas that it is are stable enough to 
be used, and since it is still a release candidate any problems you may have 
will likely be attended to. 

Since I have a Slackware Linux system I have the luxury of overnight builds of 
the latest Scribus 1.4.0 and 1.5.0.  I just tested each with tiff files. I had 
no problems. 

No one is working on 1.3.3.14 any more.  So if you have uncovered a bug it 
won't be fixed.
