Thank you for the bug report Rick.
There is a long standing known issue: user wallpapers, if stored in a
non world readable directory, are not visible to the greeter. That's bug
#928553. The reason is that only the URL is shared (to not "leak"
private infos), so the greater (which runs as another user) needs to be
able to read the file to display it
Is the directory the image is stored in world readable?
Not sure that's the case there though, since you seem to do twice the
same steps and that should lead to the same directory to be used/result
if you run "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri",
does it list the correct image?

Title:
wallpaper not updating
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Steps:
1. Find a wallpaper image on the web in firefox
2. Right click and choose Set as Desktop Background
3. Log out, notice that it uses the new background in the greeter for that
user, as expected
4. Login again
5. repeat #2 with a different image
6. Log out, note that the backgorund is the background set in #2, not the one
set in #5
I even went and renamed the wallpaper image and put it in my Pictures
directory. Then I set the background image with the settings tool. The
image still did not update in the greeter.
