image map_menu = "map_menu.png"

label start: (or whatever name you want)
    call screen map_button

label map_menu:
    show map_menu
    
screen map_button:
    imagebutton :
        pos(100, 100)
        auto "images/map_icon_%.png"
        action Jump("map_menu")

imagebutton has to be inside a screen. Then you will either show or call that screen inside a label.

imagebutton is a screen statement, it need to be part of a screen...

screen UI():
    imagebutton:
        auto "images/map_icon_%s.png"
        action Show( "map_menu" )

screen map_menu():
    [...]

label start:
    show screen UI
    [...]

Please show me your new code. Because if you copy and paste my code into a brand new project, then it works.

[...] then it works.

Not exactly, but not by your fault.
You wrote your code by editing the one he put in OP, and it happen that his code is broken. It have
auto "images/map_icon_%.png" in place of auto "images/map_icon_%s.png".
But yeah, once this small typo corrected, it works without problems.
