This doesn't crash scribus so perhaps it is unrelated but one thing to check would be the bit-depth of the tiff files.

At least for me I can use 8bit/channel images without any problems. 24 and 32 bit/channel images load but don't show up either in Scribus itself or in exported PDF. This is in 1.3.6. Don't have 1.4 here to test, and as I say, it doesn't crash, so perhaps this is not your problem.
