The message prompt is the same one that is displayed ALWAYS when saving to a
.doc or .docx file. I tried saving this file to the old .doc format and the
same message is displayed even if the images were not lost after saving to that
format. 
Warning a user that there MAY be data loss does not excuse not fixing bugs that
cause data loss, especially those caused by poor reverse engineering of a
format that almost everyone uses. If nobody wants to improve compatibility with
.docx, then at the very least saving .docx files should be disabled on stable
versions since it's not even in alpha state.
