IMO, it is very much a view-mode issue. The original issue description 
states that v q should remove the image buffer, i.e. kill it. It will 
never do this, since image-mode uses special mode map, and special-mode 
buries on `q', whereas other modes use view-mode. view-mode does kill 
the buffer on q, but I believe exit-action has to be set correctly.

This is a separate issue and needs to be fixed.
