Similar issue here, except the images I've linked to cannot be accessed with the "edit link" icon (lower right corner) in the links palette. Cannot access any linked images (.psd, .ai, etc) in any document now for some reason. I can still right-click image to edit original though.

The image has been embedded.

It’s not embedded. It was placed as a psd file.

It's embedded. Otherwise it would have the crossed lines in it when selected.

Did you you save it with "Include linked files" turned on?
