This seems odd. I think you should look at the HTML file under a text 
editor.

I just did this same thing, with an HTML I created with a plain text 
editor, and import went Ok, with Paragraph styles created, and the 
images just showed up as the link in parentheses:

(img, src:path/to/image.png)

which I think is a useful feature, in case you want to add image frames 
to your Scribus document.
