I don't think we should or can chase the long-tail of these bugs. If you opt in to break the web by hiding images you are doing so at your own risk.

I dislike how we prominently display this web breaking feature in our toolbar menu instead of an advanced setting.

I totally agree with you to move the feature from toolbar menu to an advanced setting, but I hope the browser can provide an extra option to users that they can choose to display this feature or not in toolbar menu.
Because in China, the data for mobile is limited, users are always to save their data charges with no image mode. I think it is a frequently used feature for some people, so it will be more convenient for them in toolbar menu. The most commonly user case is turn on the feature in 3G/4G, and turn off in WiFi. There is another reason that most of local browsers in China put the feature on toolbar menu.
