I do that all the time.  :-)  Well, OK, not all the time, but it's
happened more than once when people post upside-down images for the lulz.

I think whenever a user sees an image in Emacs, they should be able to
save it somewhere so that they can use it for something else.

I see your point.  I have no strong opinions on whether these bindings
should be in image-mode, too -- if they're too confusing, we can remove
them there.
