You seem to be missing the nfont package for the art backend. Sorry I 
cannot find the link to this at the moment.

This problem should be independent of the backend you use, as it seems 
to happen in the functionrepd_for_rep() in the gui file NSImage.m. And I 
don't have the slightest glue, why this may be failing for you. You may 
want to add some debug code in that functions and report the result of 
that. E.G.:

static GSRepData*
repd_for_rep(NSArray *_reps, NSImageRep *rep)
{
  NSEnumerator  *enumerator = [_reps objectEnumerator];
  IMP           nextImp = [enumerator methodForSelector: @selector(nextObject)];
  GSRepData     *repd;

NSLog(@"_reps %@ %d", _reps, rep);
  while ((repd = (*nextImp)(enumerator, @selector(nextObject))) != nil)
    {
NSLog(@"repd->rep %d", repd->rep);
      if (repd->rep == rep)
        {
          return repd;
        }
    }
  [NSException raise: NSInternalInconsistencyException
              format: @"Cannot find stored representation"];
  /* NOT REACHED */
  return nil;
}
