Yesterday, Courtney G. on the Emailgeeks Slack shared that the OnEd attribute in VMLso that it "removes the handles that the end-user will see if they click on the VML object and makes it act more like a standard image-and-text setup". This is great, because it's a minor VML caveat. I made the above test but wasn't able to confirm it works in Outlook 2013. The first rectangle (green one) shows no handles by default. But all other three rectangles show handles. Both image elements show handles as well.
