I've just found the root of this problem. When you upload an image (or
select one from your media library) the "Insert Into Post" button is
only displayed if the post type supports 'editor'. The conditional in
question can be found on line 1166 of /wp-admin/includes/media.php.

It looks like there isn't a filter available anywhere to change this
behaviour, but I'm hunting for one now as I have the same problem as
you Becky.
