Reader certainly does strip away most images, that's the point. Folks who like reader are using it precisely because it provides a cleaner view, highlights the content, and minimizes distractions.
Reader does the same thing readability does, because reader is based on readability. They both preserve images within articles as long as they are not in form of widgets (flickr).

Reader in Safari 5 doesn't strip away all images - I've frequently had it retain images that are part of the flow of the article.
Which is a good thing, but it does make me wonder if the author of this article has ever actually used Reader.
