Comment:

 Unfortunately I'm having hard time reproducing this. Same Edge version.
 Tried with a single image (no caption), with two images next to each
 other, no captions, and one with a caption. With several images and
 captions/no captions... Everything seems to be working properly here.
 There must be some other factor we're missing.

 I agree, image selection with the keyboard is a bit unusual in
 contentediteble. I was able to select the images with Shift + arrow keys,
 same way text selection is made.

 Thinking about it, images re considered "part of the inline content" just
 like text/single letters, so perhaps that makes sense at some level (to
 select a letter or some text you need to hold down Shift and use the
 left/right arrow key) :) I'm really not sure what could we do there, seems
 to work as expected by the browser?

 > the "fake" caret that should appear on the image sides is missing

 There is no "fake caret" for images, only for embeds, etc. The caret for
 images is drawn by the browser and is typically the same as for text.
