Is it a question of case-sensitivity for the folder and file names, by
any chance?

No it wasn't. Osx requires a quite different format.

the folder with the files is actually inside the same folder as the
fmp-file.
So the folder contains:
/photo
MyFile.fp7

After several test I have now found the solution.
With the myfilename known (or calculated elsewhere) the calc becomes:

"data:text/html,<img  src=\"" &
"file:///Volumes/" &
Middle ( Get ( FilePath ) ; 7 ; ( Length( Get ( FilePath ) ) -7 ) - ( Length
( Get ( FileName ) )+4 ) ) &
"/photo/" & myfilename & "\" >"

which for example evaluates to:
file:///Volumes/SchijfB/1 20Datamap/Data
Genealogie/ProGen/ProgenFMP/photo/00087.jpg
which results in the photo being shown in the webview object.
