Although this might lead to a problem in how the figure appears on the
page, I believe the main problem was that there was no caption
associated with the image, so it was not put in a figure environment, it
was just inlined: inline images do not contribute to the list of
figures.

As Rasmus pointed out, #+caption was incorrectly associated with the
code block, rather than with the resulting image. The trick is to name
the code block and its results block, using the same name: that ties
them together, so that further execution of the code block does not
produce a new results block. Then you attach #+caption to the results
block:

,----
| #+name: foo
| #+begin_src ...
| ...
| #+end_src
| 
| #+caption: bar
| #+results: foo
| ....
`----

It used to be that the naming was mandatory: the intervening #+caption
line would cause babel to produce a new results block. ISTR that Nicolas
fixed it so that the naming is no longer necessary and babel will DTRT -
IOW, the following will work:

,----
| #+begin_src
| ...
| #+end_src
| 
| #+caption: bar
| #+results:
`----

I just checked btw, and it does work.
