Using a fake picture as a banner throws an error in LB 12.16

Starting with Launchbox 12.16, my library throws an error message whenever I switch between platform categories, but then continues to work as expected. I think the reason for this is because of a workaround I am using with my custom theme. I want a video or a banner image to be displayed in the same location depending on which is available. If I use a fully transparent image, it still displays a drop shadow behind the image. I worked around this by creating a blank text file, changing it to a .png file, then using that corrupt .png as a banner image on all platform categories with a video. If I don’t use an image file at all, Launchbox automatically downloads a banner that covers the video. This forum thread is where I learned of this workaround. This works fine in BigBox, but now displays this error in Launchbox:
