Thanks for writing this up, helped me clarify different interpretations. From my point of view, whether or not the painting is Doig's affects his brand and the value of his name, which I do think he has the right to control.

There's a number of things one can say to manage reputation. "That's a terrible work." "I disown that." "Better off burned." "Not part of my catalog." But "I didn't paint that" is a statement of fact, it had better be true. One might consider an author who writes a book that flops. They can ask the publisher to stop printing it, but they can't demand people pretend that they didn't write it. However, there is the case where a movie director demands their name be taken off a bad movie. Fuzzy.
