I can reproduce your overlap. I had something like this happen to me once. It was a corrupt jpg. So I pushed your tombe.jpg through GraphicConverter (Mac OS X) making it 1 pixel narrower and it now scales properly and does not overlap the text. I think I'm using pdflatex too.
(whatever comes out of the box with 2014 and Auctex))
I guess it would be interesting to discover why XeTeX thought it was corrupt, since GraphicConverter was fine with it.
