I had scanned a counter sheet for a game and uploaded it to Boardgamegeek once, and boy the writer of the game reamed me out in an e-mail, but if I had taken a photo of the same counter sheet (and it was shown to be an obvious photo) there would have been no problem.

IMO, that is not a copyright problem, they are simply doing their best to replace destroyed or lost contents to provide a complete and playable item. I would equate this to selling a 2E box set with a photocopy of the Montrous Compendium pages (which are frequently missing).
