I've explained that in accord with NPOV, text
saying that "Source X says Y
about Z" needs to be added to the caption but Jayjg has Wikilawyerly asked
me to show specific NPOV text that applies to images.

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)
Then why on earth would you comment?
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.
It is even more offensive for you to make such a claim without
actually knowing what is going on. I haven't argued for any "weaker
NPOV requirement" for the image; rather, the image is perfectly NPOV
as it stands, as it make *no* claims as to its true meaning.
