Seems it doesn't work so well. It was inadvertedly broken for wikitext transclusions when the interwiki points to the nice url. See 'wgEnableScaryTranscluding and Templates/Images?' thread at mediawiki-l
Well, in my tests, images are well included because I enabled $wgUseInstantCommons. As I wrote, "the parameters are totally ignored": they are indeed not substituted.
I found it a little surprising that $wgUploadPath needed to be an absolute path for this to work. I had imagined that as part of the transclusion the img URLs would have been transformed into the necessary remote wiki URL.
I didn't set $wgUploadPath. Just $wgUseInstantCommons = true; The images URLs are actually transformed to remote URLs:
I work on my own local wiki, which address is http://localhost/mediawiki/ and transcluding {{mediawikiwiki::User:Peter17}} which contains [[File:Exquisite-network.png]] produces: <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Exquisite-network.png" class="image"><img alt="Exquisite-network.png" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/Exquisite-network.png" width="128" height="128" /></a>, so, it actually points to MediaWiki image description page and Commons image.
