@Lestat: Google is moving the images to a new web location. Google has not explained why. I could guess, maybe, but it would just be a guess.
The first stab at this, in August, created many functional errors, so Google rolled the changes back. It fixed at least some of the errors and implemented the change it was always going to do again.
Despite the difficulties with SEO and user friendliness, then, Google does not consider its plan to host images on googleusercontet to be a "problem" that needs to be "fixed." As @WebLove told you,
@Lestat XY - These urls are not broken. This is a new domain for photos on Blogger.
Bugs in need of fixes, maybe, in Google's opinion, entail specific things that are broken about the rendering of images. For instance, apparently Google did not fix some of the thumbnail problems. I certainly hope that the dynamic themes are restored to full functionality in that respect.
People who are experiencing those kinds of problems should detail them here. By detail, I mean a description of the problem and a link to a web page where the problem occurs. (That has been lacking so far.)
For the SEO stuff, the only avenue to influence Google remains feedback.

Your questions about how Google Search will handle these new image urls is a good one. Have you asked in the Search community?

I solved parciali the problem excluding "/" from thumbnail script, like others bloggers, but only one image with de new link (blogger.googleusercontent) continues blurry. Another images with old link (lh3.googleusercontent) and with .jpg or .png end have no problems. If you can help, look at the www.enquiridio.org in the "NOTAS A LAICO" carroussel (it is favourites posts) below slider with big images. These blurries only appear in the favourite posts and related posts showed inside the posts.
Thank's for yours anssers in this forum.

Upload images from Blogger app works well. No more blurred images in blog main page, but how long we can upload from app to lh3.googleusercontent.com with .jpeg or .png link?

I can't answer that. I did notice the image automatically converts to png after the upload but it's not a big deal. I resize my pics before the upload anyway. You only need to upload one photo via the app for each post since the first image is what shows up on the homepage. I am hoping this is just a temporary measure and we are able to go back to uploading pics the normal way (with the jpg extension) and via a laptop.

Nós muita gente falando de navegadores isso não tem nada haver, pois está geral passando pelo mesmo problema.

Olá, gostaria de contribuir com o post, pois essa alteração do local do salvamento das imagens imposta pelo google fez com que minhas miniaturas na home page ficassem todas desfocadas. E isso está acontecendo em todos os meus blogs onde uso um tema que faz os posts aparecerem em forma de lista na página inicial.
Até o momento não soube resolver e não acho qualquer solução na web. Mais uma aqui na fila aguardando um posicionamento do Google / Blogger.
