FWIW I have been using the, skip the first slot, method for the last week or so and have not seen any problems yet.
Yet it seems pretty reliable other than the one hiccup I had.
That second png reports an error in PS if I try to dl it.
Wow... great. The bug borked another pic, which just messed up those three posts above AGAIN. This is getting comical...

Is corruption a new phenomenon?
Yeah... eevBlog has had a wandering singularity ever since the last software update; it randomly erases pics from our current timeline. When the singularity eats a pic, it is "unmade" as if it never existed; which makes every pic associated with a user that came after that shift down a slot in the database.
Much hilarity ensues.
The "Skip the First" slot workaround casts a warding spell which usually works unless the server daemons are especially overloaded by high numbers of visitors to a thread; the singularity seems especially attracted to the busiest threads. *
