in formatting-functions.php I added this under the function encode_bad:

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?img.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

under function bb_allowed_tags() I added this:

'img' => array(

'src' => array(),

'alt' => array(),

'title' => array()),

for an example see this post I made where it succeeded.
