I have observed the same behavior. It is possible to solve that problem 
by placing a box without fill color and with a transparent line at the 
left border of the picture. That way, the transparent box pushes the 
text further to the left.

It seems that the text overlaps the right border of the textframe by 
about 0,5 mm.

I would at the same time like to thank the developers of scribus. I 
have been creating a leaflet for non-profit organisation on OSX using 
Apple's X11 and a fink compile of scribus1.15. Adobe InDesign 2.02 (OSX 
native) had been crashing on me constantly. Scribus is of a far greater 
stability. Thanks to you guys!
