(I cannot edit due to IP restrictions, not even with an account with a multi years long standing non-spam history.)

Alternatively in case if upstream MediaWiki isn't interested in a patch, do you think you could patch this please in WikiSEO?

1. Is there some way to order the run of extensions so PageImages runs first and WikiSEO later.
2. For WikiSEO to delete any previous og:image tags and to add its own?

1. This is sadly not possible
2. Theoretically this is doable, but will break page images on each page where WikiSEO is active

Would wgPageImagesOpenGraph = false; fix this?

[octfx]

This seems to be the case, yes.

With PageImagesOpenGraph set to false. PageImages will not set og:image tags.

[adrelanos]

Is this a complete solution? Or does wgPageImagesOpenGraph = false; disable more than one would want?

[octfx]

Looking through the source code, I'd call this a complete solution.
By setting the flag to false, this hook exits early: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-PageImages/blob/fca29f3ebeefed274695fa157e5f5fa48a2414b9/includes/PageImages.php#L292

It is the only occurrence where the flag is queried and will only disable setting any og:image tags
