There is still a minor bug in regard to require-final-newline.

Recipe:
emacs -q
M-: (setq require-final-newline 'visit)
Open an image file via C-x C-f

There is a new buffer but no window displays it.  The *Messages*-buffer
contains "find-file-noselect-1: Text is read-only".

This is because image-mode sets the read-only property of the whole
buffer string to t.  buffer-read-only is nil in this case, though.

I think all code fragments that try to add new lines due to
require-final-newline should ignore text-read-only errors.
