Well, I managed to locate the problem and fix it. The problem was that
FileUrls are not Strings but apparently (recently) replaced Strings at some
locations.
By inserting 

locUrl isString ifFalse: [locUrl _ locUrl pathString]

in the attached method (ResourceManager) makeAllProjectResourcesLocalTo:
resourceUrl

I could publish again (otherwise resourcelocations ended up referring to
bizarre non-existing directories).

Still I do not quite understand why some graphics occasionally come up
degraded in a published project, as if downloading stopped after the first
pass. This is Squeak 3.1beta upto 4411 running on win2000.

There must be some hidden secret, otherwise I would have found that bug
already. This problem pops up occasionally, but just last week I failed
to reproduce it.

Which OS are you using? Is it a recent plugin? How did you add the
images to your project (painted, imported, drag'n'drop)?

If you don't mind, could you send me the project or a URL  (directly,
not through the list of course) so I can take a look at it?

Sorry you are having so much trouble, but maybe it at least helps to
finally track down this bug.
