Yes, I suspect they are WMFs. In this particular case, I could switch off direct PostScript ... but I tend to have it switched on by default because, if it's not switched on, then in certain documents that contain TIFF pictures, I find that a thin black line sometimes appears along the edge of the picture in the resulting PDF. I don't know why this happens, but having direct PS on seems to prevent it happening.
The thin black lines are probably because the pictures don't fill the frames.
There's an old problem, about "scale to fit", ideally this should make a picture just fill a frame with no pixels of background visible and no pixels of picture invisible.
To achieve this I suppose one would have to have a flag that said "this picture should just fill the frame", well I didn't think of that on day one, and just allowed the program to specify a scale, the result is that if you render things in enough ways gaps appear.
BTW there are no TIFF files in documents, TIFF is not a natively supported format, so the TIFF files will have been converted to some other format - .bmp
