Regarding the new “image” entity:
I am 100% sure that it should work with this:

template:
  - image:
      - name: test_image
        url: '/local/images/test/pink.jpg'

w/o specifying http, https, ports etc - in case of locally stored images.
“Should” - means “from a noob user’s PoV”.
In all other places of HA we use either “/local/…” path or “http(s)://…” path when needed.
See no reason why the “image” entity is an exception.

input_boolean:
  test_xxxxxxx:
  test_xxxxxxx_2:

homeassistant:
  customize:
    input_boolean.test_xxxxxxx:
      entity_picture: '/local/images/test/pink.jpg'
    input_boolean.test_xxxxxxx_2:
      entity_picture: 'https://design.home-assistant.io/images/logo.png'

Here is no difference, both paths are accepted.

It could be not a bug but a poor functionality.
