Does this mean that GFDL-licensed images on Wikipedia are going to become CC-BY-SA images?
Probably.
When?
Starting June 15th (or there abouts) {{GFDL}} tags will add a message saying that this image is also licensed under CC-BY-SA-3.0 provided that the necessary conditions for eligibility are met. So the relicensing will take effect alongside the text relicensing, but the eligibility criteria would have to be reviewed by the reuser by hand initially.
A bot, not yet in existence, will then go through and evaluate the images based on automated criteria into: relicensed, not eligible/not necessary, and needs manual review. Hopefully the bot will sort 95% of images based on clear cut criteria, leaving "only" 100,000 or so to examine by hand.
