Normally an attachment opens in a light box which you can close via the X. When the attachment is in a quote, it's shown as a text link:

  • In a desktop browser that opens in a new tab so it can be closed.
  • On a mobile using a browser you have a back button
  • But on the web app there is no obvious way to close the image or go back:

I could be I'm missing something but when it happened to me this morning the only way to get back to normal seemed to be to delete and reinstall the app on homescreen.
 
The control panel appears here - tapping on the image makes it disappear and then another tap makes it appear again.

This is iPhone in this example using PWA.

No amount of tapping brings up any kind of controls, I just have to delete the app and reinstall

You shouldn't need to reinstall... you can quit the app (swipe up on it on an iPhone for example) and reload it.

That being said, it is annoying... but not sure there's a fix since you effectively escaped out of an HTML page, so can't think of a way to inject code/JavaScript to give controls.

I see what you mean, hadn’t thought of that as I rarely actually quit apps.
