I've explained that in accord with NPOV, text saying that "Source X says Y about Z" needs to be added to the caption but Jayjg has Wikilawyerly asked me to show specific NPOV text that applies to images.

Without looking at the situation beyond your post here, I'd say that you sound correct. (i.e. if you were misrepresenting it, I wouldn't know)
Although it may be true that in practice we may apply a weaker NPOV requirement to image, the idea that you must find some explicit requirement in policy is ludicrous, and it is offensive to hear that an arbcom member would make such a claim.
An example of in image which had been removed due to NPOV concerns, but restored with an attributing caption is at [[Terry_Schiavo#Rehabilitation_efforts]].
If there is a citable dispute over an image, we should never include the image without making an attempt to explain the situation in a neutral and factual manner.
