That's not a problem with org, it's a problem with images: try executing
the following two calls (with paths appropriate to your environment of
course):

(insert-image
'(image :type png :file "/scp:remote:/tmp/foo.png" :ascent center))

(insert-image
'(image :type png :file "/tmp/foo.png" :ascent center))

and you'll see the same behaviour. Try reporting it as a bug in emacs.
