xpath parent node position

What I am getting at, is that I want to output all text links (easy
enough), and all images for chapters unless the chapter is 21 (which
happens also to be last, which I tried <xsl:if test="chapter[position()
!= last()]">)

Well, the <chapter> is, as you noted, the parent of imageLink, therefore the XPath "chapter[position() != 21]" inside the for-each wont select anything (independently of the predicate, because there is no <chapter there).

You can try to count the previous siblings of the chapter. Of
course, you'll have to navigate to the parent first:
 <xsl:if test="parent::chapter[count(previous-sibling::chapter)=21]">
or if you want the last (no following sibling chapter):
 <xsl:if test="parent::chapter[not(following-sibling::chapter)]">
