These pages are most likely affected by the difference in parser treatment of
embedded HTML in templates when HTML Tidy is engaged.

You can install HTML Tidy (I'm fairly certain current Fedora versions include a
package, if not it's in Extras) and enable its use on your wiki. Unfortunately
the bug (that the behavior is different) hasn't been resolved yet; fortunately
it should be easy enough for you to work around by configuring your site
appropriately.

If the image bug isn't fixed in 1.6.8 already, let me know and I'll merge it for
1.6.9.

(By the way, as mentioned the other day we're pretty offtopic for Foundation-L.)
