Since I can't delete the Image Capture App, how do I disable, break, maim or otherwise stop it from starting when I plug in a Compact Flash card?

CF - Compat Flash Card. A camera memory card before SD cards.

When Image Capture launches for whatever you have plugged in, then configure Image Capture to not launch for that device.

re-install the operating system.

However, if you moved Image Capture to another location, then you will have 2 Image Capture apps. If you moved it, only you would know where.

Maybe Spotlight can find it.

Start Image capture and highlight the CF card. Click on the little triangle in the lower left. Select No application in the drop down box.
