I agree with you that the issues are related, but your (edited) quoting is misleading. I interpret Prof Ripley's comment as implying that reading ?image would tell the user what happens when he calls image(x). This is distinct from how to manipulate a matrix, which is what t(x)[ncol(x):1, ] is doing. It doesn't seem obvious to me that this information should be in ?image, and I still don't see how Prof Ripley's comment suggested that it was. Anything but the most trivial use of S involves combining different ideas. One can hardly expect all possible interactions to be documented. Of course, documentation can always use improvements (and the rest of your comments on ?image are all valid), and it would be nice to anticipate frequently faced problems and offer solutions preemptively, but that's a different issue.
