I don't know if you are wrong, but the way I upload new images is, use
'image listing' as your widget type and use the append html code (which is
in the foundation template within the products image field meta info, and
below). This append code produces a hyperlink to upload a new image. I am
not sure what the 'image upload' widget does, actually.

<A
HREF="admin/upload_file?ui_image_preview=/foundation2/images/items/_UI_VALUE
_&ui_upload_binary=1&ui_upload_backup=0&mv_arg=images/items/_UI_VALUE_&ui_st
art_dir=items&ui_return_to=admin/item_edit&ui_return_to=item_id=_UI_KEY_&ui_
preload=_UI_TABLE_:_UI_COLUMN_">upload...</A>

Good luck!
