Sorry, but if we start conceding that in effect, we are combining an article with an image into a single document under GFDL, downstream users have to be able to use the image alone.
Sure, but they are responsible for actions they are doing. It is okay to take pictures of public buildings with logo for big companies attached. Readers are allowed to modify those pictures--but they are surely not allowed to cut out the logo and use it at will.
Use of the logo is really a trademark issue, not copyright. GFDL allows people to modify, but it doesn't mean they can create modifications that are illegal for other reasons.
