I have tested this more carefully now and I think it works to
specification (although perhaps it's not what you want).

When you define the field in the template as specified above,
the content of the created page becomes 

:Image file:Attach:Image_{$Name}.png

PmWiki translates this as a link to Image_00001.png or
Image_00002.png etc. So every page has a link to a 
uniquely-named image.

And this is correct behaviour for the hide field type. 

When you say it does not work, what, precisely, do you
want it to do? I had understood that you wanted to specify
the name of the uploaded file, which this does.
