How do I do that?  Seem unable to DRAG any images onto the stack in 
either Ubuntu or Mac?

Imported an image.

Nothing happens at this point . . .

However I think you have written slightly misleading instructions as 
there is NO "filename button"
in my Prop Inspector: what there is, is a SOURCE button . . .

Now when I use the source button (on Mac) stage 1 works,

and, so does stage 2; so, on Mac, at least, this is not buggy.

Everything works OK on Ubuntu Linux as well.
