Confirming with 

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a889bca4a1912da1e402181d8acd6ef7683e2f53

Insert - Image uses the same directory.

This comes from officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Paths.xcu see the key "Graphic".

Speculation:
using ($username) might help, although I'm unsure about how to set a Pictures component after it in a platform and locale-independent way.

We use (internally) this default config snippet:

<node oor:name="Paths">
  		<node oor:name="Graphic" oor:op="fuse">
	  		<prop oor:name="WritePath" oor:op="fuse">
		  		<value>file:///C:/Users/$(username)/Pictures</value>
  			</prop>
	  	</node> 
	  </node>

This works for us on Windows, but too hardcoded for straight upstreaming :).

Looking at framework/source/services/substitutepathvars.cxx might be needed too.

Is it not possible to mimic the save/save as/ file open behaviour (that working properly too)
