OK, no deletion allowed. This was a case of User Error as I was trying to add the image to a hidden collection. Upon trying to add to a non-hidden collection the add function worked as expected.

Adding to a hidden collection shouldn't cause an exception though. I wouldn't consider this a user error.

This seems to be fixed in master. Adding a new object with a hidden collection selected, puts it to the scene collection.
