We discuss the construction of ideal space seniority images of single fermion operators which proceeds via the generalized Dyson mapping and a subsequent similarity transformation. Particular attention is paid to the implications of a consistent treatment of single-particle and collective degrees of freedom. The results are compared with expressions for the mapped single fermion operators previously obtained, respectively, within the Otsuka-Arima-Iachello framework and by using the prescriptions of nuclear field theory. We point out certain inconsistencies in existing constructions of interacting-boson-fermion model operators in general and the interacting-boson-fermion model quadrupole operator in particular.
