Am going to resolve this as a duplicate of because the issue is spaces - in the folder or the image name. As long as there are no folders with spaces in them, or pictures with spaces in them, the images export/import without issue.

I would call this a blocker. We have a large number of instructors who rely on import/export for large placement exams with images in every question.

See the following Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gbjUKQOqKPeNBKD5ueTOGDwIKbmLELdGM4fE7o06qV4/edit?usp=sharing
There is no good way currently to use images in Tests & Quizzes.
Examples are in https://qa21-mysql.nightly.sakaiproject.org/portal/site/3954d9fb-df6f-4fe5-9d30-0c82cea2319d

Retesting images: the export from 21 has an extra folder inside the group > id folder called QuizImages. Quiz Images is the folder I created in resources to hold the quiz images since I have to upload images used to a folder in resources. There was a time when the instructor could just upload images through the rich text editor and they were automatically placed for T&Q. The instructor does not have permissions to upload anything to the assessments folder, only has read access.
Tested an older import from 20x which only has one folder under group which contains the ID. That quiz imports without a problem and the images display in the quiz.
Also tested on trunk. When I imported the 20x export, and looked copied the image URL when editing the quiz, the URL is
https://trunk-mysql.nightly.sakaiproject.org/access/content/attachment/c72310e3-ba94-40c8-88d1-2409a47e4684/Tests%20_%20Quizzes/ccbf8441-63f9-424c-8e47-df6f22bd8af9/ with the image (ginger.png) appended to the end. (If I add the image name it automatically appends it.)
Since my site on trunk will be gone after midnight, you can see this in 21x:

The quiz imported: 20x-Image-Test

I have a doc with versions from 12x - 21x listed, along with quizzes created on each server, exported and attempted import:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UljJDXyGxxsjSDMj_qUCl68K3e3ITbqyRcPeWKXaFmc/edit
Today (5/24) the export/import fails for 19x and 21x. I didn't get around to testing 20.1, but 20.0 and 20x work. The exported quizzes are in that doc so hopefully that helps.
I had thought the problem was if an image was added to a question if it came from a hidden folder in resources, but it also happens when using an image from a visible folder.
I have 2 folders in resources:
Hidden - but allow access to its contents
Visible - members
I created a quiz with 2 short answer/essay questions and inserted an image from the hidden folder in one, and an image from the visible folder for the other.
I verified the student could view the images.
I created another quiz that has 1 question and an image from the visible folder.
I exported both quizzes and tried to import into another site. I received an error "There was an error importing this assessment. Ensure that the file is correctly formatted IMS QTI." and there is a stack trace in the server logs.
This happened for both quizzes. I'm attaching the exports (and you can see the folders and images are there), and the stacktraces.

Visible_vs_Hidden_Quiz
Only Visible - quiz
20x (since the site on trunk will be gone by tomorrow):

Hidden-Images-Quiz
Short answer question with image from Hidden Folder: salada maki.png
Short answer question with image from Not Hidden: coffee_machine-32.png
The first error that displays in the logs on import (example from the Only visible - quiz):
15-Apr-2020 19:02:43.933 ERROR [http-nio-20013-exec-17] org.sakaiproject.tool.assessment.qti.helper.AttachmentHelper.createContentResource FileNotFoundException:/var/trunk-mysql/sakai/samigo/answerUploadRepositoryPath/jsf/upload_tmp/qti_imports/a2504b8b-78dc-4c1a-a2b0-5f8cf24eef92/unzip_files/1586991763704/group/5bf5ab7b-b9fc-4345-9368-d43bc2680e2d/Visible Folder/Pen-128x128.png (No such file or directory)
This is then followed by the stack trace.
