We've been through this already. There are more ways than free. Regardless, are you suggesting that an author cannot create any fair-use of their own work? Seems like you are.
Wouldn't it seem much more reasonable in this *particular* case for someone to merely correct it since it's obvious that the author themselves is trying to add the image to their own article?

You appear to be attempting to re-argue WP:NONFREE here again.
No, the author can't put up something on Wikipedia as fair-use or Wikipedia-permission-only, any more than a third party can.
In addition, when something is marked as being under a free licence, it's important to make damn sure (a) the author meant that (b) it's really theirs to release. I say this from dealing with a lot of aggrieved uploaders where it turned out neither was the case at all.

It makes no legal sense. Roughly translated into English the person is saying I'm going to publish this work on which I'm holding the copyright but I take the position such a publication would violate my copyright if not for the fair use provisions of US law.
As I said it makes no sense so no they cannot.

Correct to what? the image has not been released under a free license thus the only alternative to a fair use claim would be delete.
