Let me try to clear things up a little..
"mixed medium" usually refers to images containing 3D elements.
"2D" if for images containing things such as stock photos or "heavily manipulated" images.
These descriptions are fairly subjective.
As to the image included in the LWITG...
It's my opinion that, enough of the original image remained intact.
That one falls into "Photo manipulation"..In my opinion
At this time, we don't have a "genre" for these..(not a bad idea tho)
Now, as to the "other images you mentioned..
One was moved to another gallery, and the other I am waiting on opinions from the rest of the team. Out of respect for the artists. I don't feel it is proper for me to discuss those images specifically here. Technically as a moderator, I don't to elicit opinions form the rest of the team. However, we make every attempt to make decisions as a group.
Some basic guidelines..
If it contains any "stock" photography it belongs in 2D
If it contains any 3D elements.. (like Poser Bryce etc etc) it belongs in Mixed medium
More than 50% or the original image should remain intact
