What would cause an item in a skill menu to not have a picture/image displayed in that menu (but moving the mouse over it shows it's there)?

Did you interfere with graphics in arts and gumps files? That could be the cause.

No I haven't attempted anything like that.
I took the default item -
[ITEMDEF 044cf]
DEFNAME=i_lobster_cage
NAME=lobster cage
TYPE=t_normal
FLIP=1
CATEGORY=Items by Professions
SUBSECTION=Fisherman
DESCRIPTION=Lobster Cage
DUPELIST=044d0

and I added to it-

RESOURCES=4 i_board,10 i_thread,4 i_fishing_weight,1 i_sewing_kit
SKILLMAKE=Tinkering 20.0,Tailoring 40.0,Carpentry 40.0,t_tinker_tools

then I added to skillmenu.scp under tinker stuff
ON=i_lobster_cage <name> (<resmake>)
MAKEITEM=i_lobster_cage

The menu works, the item is there, it just does not show an image in the menu, I can move my mouse over the blank spot labelled 'lobster cage' and when I click it - it's created and added to my pack. It seems to by fine game wise and .add i_lobster_cage works too. It just has no pic in the menu itself.

Thanks

Your item doesn't have ID. If I'm not mistaken item needs to have an ID in order to appear on that menu.
