I just tried deleting the revisions created in converting to binary diffs 
(I'm not sure why I managed to create two commits doing it), but the problem 
remains, so perhaps it is nothing to do with binary diffs. The file status 
is:

File: ChainWindowListandWatch.bmp       Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.3
   Repository revision: 1.3 
/cvs/xjtag/dev/help/XJAnalyserTutorial/Images/ChainWindowListandWatch.bmp,v
   Expansion option:    b
