This is not your fault, but the result of missing functionality in
GNUstep. First of all should Ink save a text that contains a picture as
RTFD not just RTF. We also should think about moving form \NeXtGraphic
to \object, which is a more recent concept from Microsoft. But what is
actually stopping you is missing support for the \NeXTGraphic keyword in
the RTF reader.
As currently nobody is working on this area, perhaps adding this is a
nice starting point for contributions to GNUstep?
