Without looking at the situation beyond your post here, I'd say that
you sound correct. (i.e. if you were misrepresenting it, I wouldn't
know)

Although it may be true that in practice we may apply a weaker NPOV
requirement to image, the idea that you must find some explicit
requirement in policy is ludicrous, and it is offensive to hear that
an arbcom member would make such a claim.

An example of in image which had been removed due to NPOV concerns,
but restored with an attributing caption is at
[[Terry_Schiavo#Rehabilitation_efforts]].

If there is a citable dispute over an image, we should never include
the image without making an attempt to explain the situation in a
neutral and factual manner.
