Since I found this by chance, I wasn't aware that it is related to the Blend Tool.
Therefore, I thought it was a general feature of a Blend or smooth.
But now i know how it works, thanks.
@Subpath Yes, this is a known issue.
A workaround: place the image into an other clipping shape (can be a rectangle of the same size). The image can be drag&dropped into this clipping shape in the layers panel.
Then use the boolean exclude on the clipped image. This will exclude from the clipping and not the image shape, so the image size will not be changed.
@monsterfox I added these to the backlog (1) and (3).
The problem for (2): all images are clipped (in a rectangle initially, but clipped), this clipping "frame" can be styled with fill and stroke, just like any other object.
@VectorStyler Thank you. It's an important function for things like lettering/logotype. An easy example, if someone is designing a custom typeface that's based on a skew, having a snapping feature would speed things up for getting those clean curves...

Ah, I confused "Convert to Shape Text" with "Convert Frame Text to Path". Thanks!
