I confirm that using the "file://" protocol to set the source of an <IMG> tag to a local file does not work.

However, the "file://" protocol does work when setting the 'href' of an anchor tag:
WebView1.SetHtml("<a href=file:///path/of/my/image_file>My Image</a>")

Clicking the link displays the image.

This doesn't help you specifically but may help diagnose the issue - since is appears to not be use of the "file://" protocol 
itself, but using it to set the source of an <IMG> tag.
