Cause

A failed attempt to move a page(s) that timed out.

Solution

Resolution

Copying the contents from the moved_out_of_the_way directories back to the original directory, the one without moved_out_of_the_way in its path, will ensure the images display correctly.

Please note, the missing attachment script should also be able to recover those attachments. More information available here.
