Yes, I tried reordering things in that way.  No dice.  And I thought  
perhaps the
(provide (all-from (lib "image.ss" "htdp")))
needed to come before the provide/contract too, on grounds that an  
externally visible contract needs to be based on externally visible  
types.  That didn't seem to help either.
