I've been trying to upload a picture using both of the forms of uploading an image for the avatar (link & direct upload), but the image doesn't show up!

Not a bug: that image is too wide at 160x90 pixel - the maximum resolution allowed is 130x160 with a 15.77k maximum file size.

I'm sure you could crop that on both sides to make it fit

... down to 130x73, which corrected the X-dimension at the expense of the Y-dimension - but as TPP suggested a small crop would have worked, and the picture ends up larger.

Here's your original, cropped to 130x90:
