Yes, we had a report of this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384107 However the issue I've seen is a genuine regression from your patch: changing my avatar from a file on disk to an image from gallery works without your patch, but fails with it. It looks like the stuff in here may be interacting poorly the pre-existing bug. I can tell you from submitting some user-manager patches to fix avatars in the past that the code there is sadly pretty fragile.
