Why should nudity be disallowed in the first place, though?
The photo is clearly not sexual or pornographic. As for censoring it partially: Are we really totally fine with seeing someone burned by napalm, just not with seeing their genitals?
The photo is arguably one of the most famous pieces of photojournalism, and helped shape our civilization. I remember seeing it for the first time in my elementary school history book, even: it can't be that inappropriate.
I understand why they wouldn't want Facebook to degenerate into a porn (or borderline porn) filled website. I think they simply are relying too much on automated systems to remove content, and don't have a good appeal system in place.
