Does the SUMMON SCOUT spell invalidate this application of Image/Illusion? (Also...does the scout mammal come from another dimension, or does the spell function more like a combination CALLING and CONTROL ANIMAL, limiting the wizard's choice of scout to whatever's in the neighborhood, but possibly explaining the low cost to maintain?)

Summon Scout is the same cost as 1-hex image, makes a physical creature, and you can maintain it more cheaply than a 1-hex image or illusion (which cost double to maintain). It doesn't sound like it invalidates that application of image/illusion as much as crush it completely :).
Seriously though, images and illusions are creations, just like summoned creatures so I'd be very surprised if it invalidates that use of image/illusion.
