Scott, the director of rights and reproductions a the NPG kindly wrote directly back to me very quickly and said (quoting with permission): "We did, indeed, investigate immediately. I am expecting changes to be made, shortly."
So, I assume that not only will changes be made to their website soon but we'll be informed what as soon as it does.
Sincerely, -Liam

Hi Scott, It was raised with the NPG, as promised, at the time. They assured me they would investigate immediately on the pages indicated as well as make a random sampling of other pages on their site to see if it had happened elsewhere.
I'll re-raise this with them today and get back to you when I know any news. Sincerely, -Liam

This got some attention at the time, and coverage in the en.wp Signpost. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-03-21/News_an d_notes
The matter ended when it was indicated that WMF people in the GLAM project would raise it with the NPG as a matter of urgency.
However, I note that the NPG continues to use copyrighted material without attribution and with a false copyright claim. http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person.php?search=sa&LinkID=mp0...
