This happens to me too.

I am using PCLinuxOS, although I had the same problem when using Mandriva.

Scribus Version 1.3.3.2

29 May 2006
Build ID: C-C-T-F-A
Using Ghostscript version 8.15.1

As an example, I have posted a copy of one of the offending image files here:

http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~rpkemp/AFC_logo.jpg

Although the image goes all blocky in a Scribus picture frame, it is 
reproduced correctly when the file is exported to PDF and it prints out OK 
from Scribus too.

This does not happen with all images, just (as far as I know) the one I've 
posted.
