No.  It's legal for both HTML 4.01 Transitional and Strict.  Well, not quite 
because it's missing the ALT atribute.  This is valid:

    <img src="foo.png" height="125" alt="Image">

None that I'm aware of.  The HEIGHT attribute has been around since HTML 
3.2, and it doesn't look like HTML 4.01 has done away with it (actually, it 
look like it's still OK all the way up to XHTML 1.1), so this should always 
work.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Your use of the style attribute for image height will likely cause you some 
problems with older browsers though.
