Copyrighted obs include text saying they will not be shared with data repositories that respect licenses, this cannot be correct

Correct, this isn’t a bug, it’s text that was intentionally put there and was vetted by GBIF before it was added to the site.

Also, photo license (or lack thereof) does not affect whether an observation will be shared wth GBIF and similar databases - it’s the observation license that matters.
