The gallery problem is caused by a packaging bug with GTK. To work
around it, do:

# ipkg install gdk-pixbuf2-loader-jpeg
# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

The NMF problem is a bit more of a mystery. Others have reported it
also, but I don't yet know the cause.

Not right now, but within the next week or so we will probably have a
mechanism for importing from vCard format. So, if you can persuade your
Outlook to export in that form, you should be all set.
