I'm not really familiar with all of the abuse preventation mechanisms that are employed, though I assume the MIME type of the photo is somehow verified. (After all, you can tell if some random sequence of bytes is actually a JPEG, since it is a standardized format.)
As far as what would happen if a user's account was disabled, I assume there would be a 4XX error code (perhaps 403) with some sort of appropriate error string returned. In the future, all of the Data APIs are moving towards returning XML for their errors as well, which should make it easier to catch these things and return something readable to the user.
