Image upload is *always* automatically disabled. This is for security 
reasons; uploading arbitrary data to your web server is potentially 
dangerous, and it's a) safer to have it off and b) it wouldn't work 
anyway until you fix up permissions in the images directory.

Search the list archives for previous questions about uploads in safe 
mode. (Use google and add site:mail.wikipedia.org to your query.)

In 1.4 you can now suppress the hashed subdirectories (which cause most 
of the trouble with Safe Mode) but you may still need to add temp, 
archive, and thumb subdirectories and make them all writable. Set 
$wgHashedUploadDirectory = false in LocalSettings.php
