In it Jimbo seems to argue that the addition of fair use images does not mean that the images become GFDL, but rather that the usage of the specific images in such a way become compliant with the GFDL. At least that is my reading of the comments.
By the way, this sentence contains at least one common misconception about copyleft. Images only "become GFDL" if they are released by their copyright holder under the GFDL. They don't automatically become released under the GFDL.

Problem is that "by uploading this crap you agree to release the given crap under GFDL"... if there's any, that's it.
