You can use the moonlib/image which ships with Purr Data to test for
this bug. But if you are using the one from Pd Vanilla, it will cause
problems.

When you've hit the bug with ggee/image that you posted in the video,
do you know if /home/mario/pd-externals was in your startup search
path?

You can check this through Edit->Preferences and clicking on the "Startup" tab.

Since the graphic actually gets drawn in the video you provided, that
tells us the Purr Data version of ggee/image is successfully being
loaded.

What I don't know is whether other versions of image could be
interefering with it.

Can you tell me if either of these directories exist on your machine:
* /home/mario/pd-externals/ggee
* /home/mario/pd-externals/moonlib
