Comment (by turbodb):

 Thanks for the suggestion @siliconforks.

 Using the {{{wp_kses_allowed_html}}} filter might work, but in your
 example you've limited it to the {{{'pre_comment_content'}}}, which as I
 mentioned in the original bug, already works correctly using the hook of
 the same name.

 Without that context limitation, using {{{wp_kses_allowed_html}}} has the
 same issue I've raised as using the {{{init}}} hook - namely that it's a
 much larger scope and opens up a much larger area than the targetted use
 of {{{<img>}}} that I'm aiming to allow here, which is ''only'' in
 comments.

 By using {{{wp_kses_allowed_html}}} - unless there's a {{{$context}}} for
 editing comments, in which case, I should be able to use the specific hook
 for that {{{$context}}} - I would be allowing {{{<img>}}} everywhere that
 HTML is filtered,
