Or in the end I would be happy if one could just pull anywhere on the screen to go back to thumbnails screen, no matter whether it was the bottom half still showing parts of the picture or the upper half with the menu.

But in the end I think these problems are minor, and can be devised around with some additional design. It is not that Sailfish has to be perfected on the first release version of UX.
A great analysis and I agree with almost everything, especially the last paragraph. The exception: I found the gallery app working really well, because it gives the user a lot of options. It retains the common back swipe logic, but at the same time you are able to scroll back and forth between pictures while you are in the sharing menu.
