Ok, for anyone interested, I solved the problem!

The problem was that setting vertical-align to middle adds extra space
around the image (at least if it's small). I solved this by adding the
following to ploneCustom.css:

img {
  vertical-align: baseline;
}

The question now is why it was there in the first place? Does anyone know?
If it doesn't perform anything useful, maybe it would be worth concidering
removing it in future releases...

Chao!
