I agree that full page writes can be used in this case, but I'm wondering if that can be misleading for some reader which might e.g. confuse with the full_page_writes GUC. And as Justin pointed out, the documentation for now usually mentions "full page image(s)" in such cases.
ISTM that in the context of this patch, "full-page image" is correct. A "full-page write" is what you do to a table or index page when you are recovering a full-page image. The internal symbol for the WAL record is XLOG_FPI and xlogdesc.c prints it as "FPI".
