Weird. I have some old low quality images as well, so I'll see what
they're like (once the conversion finishes).

I expect you did, but have you tried rebuilding Previews and Thumbnails?

Well, my conversion appears to be OK, so no help there I'm afraid
(although good news for me!).

Do they misbehave in other Apple apps as well (eg Preview.app)?

not since I went digital some 10 years ago. I've had the odd corruption,
but that was down to faults in cameras, or media cards.
