I think that it's not a matter of not redirecting to categories, but
that since the Image page has enough other stuff that they made it not
redirect.

You could do this by writing an extension that takes an image link as
a parameter, and it outputs the image without link. Then you could use
syntax like:

[[:Category:Windows|<image>[[Image:Windows.png|42px|The windows logo]]</image>]]

If you need help with this, feel free to ask.

Naw. This is pretty much a minor issue.
