Thinking some more on the image sizes. It looks as if the resolution stored in 
the images has something to do with this. The images that get oversized were 
saved in 72dpi, images that look good had higher resolutions.

For example, the image basic_AccountsSampleQIF.png in "Putting it all 
together" in concepts guide chapter 2 is 72dpi and gets overscaled.
On the other hand image basic_EmptyAccounts.png in the same section has 126dpi 
and looks much better in pdf.

If we want to have nice looking pdfs, we will have to be careful how we save 
our images.

Note that docbook also allows to define multiple imageobjects inside one 
mediaobject. This could help us in some cases to provide different resolution 
images for html and pdf.
