I may be missing something, but I'm not seeing in what sense your images have become orphan works. Your EXIF may have been stripped out, but someone making an effort to find the author could...

There isn't any suggestion of passing ownership of copyright to someone other than the author - the idea behind this system is to allow an end user to license (non-exclusively), the right to use...

It doesn't, no.
