I use jade and relative paths in image entityrefs work fine.
Is this an openjade feature?

I do see an inconsistency in entity names and
files in your example, though:

  <!ENTITY dlg_vernieuw SYSTEM "images/dlg_distrib.png" NDATA PNG>

  <imagedata entityref="dlg_distrib" format="PNG"/>

  <IMG SRC=images/dlg_vernieuw.png"></IMG>

Is the example wrong, or is it possible you are refering to
the wrong entity name?
