As for the mechanism, It probably tries to match luminance values from the file in question against the getty database at low resolution, then steps up the res if it thinks it's found a match.
I'm a bit surprised that they picked up on the vector tracing. I wouldn't doubt that they have a human component to the filtering.
Amazon had (has?) a service called Mechanical Turk that paid people to review images for stuff that algorithms couldn't easily detect. Not sure if Pictscout uses that or similar, but it would be a smart way to do it.
