It looks like `org-html--wrap-image' should be responsible for using a
proper "figure" element, maybe try edebugging it and see what it's
doing? This may be obvious, but the document has to be exported as html5
before html5-fancy has any effect!

It should have been obvious, but it wasn't to me! setting org-html-doctype to "html5" fixed the problem. Thank you!
