I'm still not sure why you single out non-nyquist filtered images as being a special problem for non-square pixels.

To me, the main problem with non-nyquist images is the values at the designated sample points are correct but there is an ambiguity about what the values are between those points.

There is no ambiguity. The sample points are essentially squares, (or rectangles), each of which is filled with the
designated color. Non-Nyquist images IN EFFECT assume infinite resolution, with each "pixel" a fully, perfectly,
resolved square.

If you think of it this way, you immediately see the problem
with rescaling. It only works correctly with up-scaling to
2, 3, 4, 5, .... times as many pixels in each direction.
