I'm afraid you are not doing anything wrong.
The problem is that the new marquee can accept html tags, so it has been transformed to convert quotes in the corresponding HTML tags.
As a result, you can't put an image in the marquee any more, unless you use the following steps:

1. Insert the marquee in your page as you want it. Set background solor, type of scrolling etc just as you would do normally.
2. Insert a HTML object in your page. Make it the same size as the marquee. Don't worry about it's position right now, we will fix that in a moment.
3. Right click the marquee, select HTML, and Copy the entire html of the marquee as it appears.
4. Open Notepad, and paste the code of the marquee. It should look like:

<marquee direction="left" height="150" scrolldelay="90" scrollamount="6" behavior="scroll" loop="0" style="background-color:#000000;" id="Marquee1"><font style="font-size:13px" color="#00FF00" face="Arial">Marquee</font></marquee>

Now, the part in RED is what will appear in the marquee. We need to replace it with the image.

5. Now, insert the image in your page, dimension it as required, and right click it. Select html and copy the code.
6. Go in Notepad, and delete the part in RED, and paste, exactly in replacement, the image code as you have copied it.Your code now should look like:

<marquee direction="left" height="150" scrolldelay="90" scrollamount="6" behavior="scroll" loop="0" style="background-color:#000000;" id="Marquee1"><img src="my_image.jpg" id="Image1" alt="" align="top" border="0" style="width:78px;height:75px;"></marquee>

Copy the entire code from Notepad. Paste it into the HTML box. Preview your page, you should be seeing BOTH the original marquee, with only the text "Marquee" scrolling, and a second one, in the position of the html box, with the image scrolling.

If everything is ok, publish the page. Now delete the original marquee AND the image from your page, move the html box in the position where the marquee should appear, and publish again.
