Unfortunately, I don't see any image here.
I think that's partially responsible for some miscommunication between us. debbugs doesn't show the images inline in the messages (as I see them in Google Inbox when I am sending the emails). debbugs instead just creates an attachment named image.png for each inline image.

This behavior has been with us ever since the vertical border has been
used for GUI frames so it hardly qualifies as a blocker for the release.
I understand. I thought this was a regression in 26, because I started using the native line number implementation.
Earlier (in emacs 25), when using nlinum, this was the order of window elements:
| line num | fringe | window text | ..
In emacs 26, when using native line numbers, this became the order of window elements:
| fringe | line num | window text | ..
So the issue was essentially masked earlier if you were using line numbers using (n)linum.
I confirm that this issue was in emacs 25.1 too. Sorry for the drastic measure suggestion.
