Emacs 29 doesn't hang, at least on my system.

No, the misleading message is likely just a symptom of the root
cause. The root cause is that the buffer-file-name is set
incorrectly, and likewise the default-directory.
It could be that the original problem (with displaying images given by
the file:// URL) doesn't work, but that is not yet certain, AFAIU.
