Hi, It works fine when the picture is in the "~/Pictures" folder directly and not a sub-folder. Also, I just changed the wallpaper again and this time, I set it from a sub-folder in ~/Public folder and again the purple wallpaper was back.
So, you can have the wallpaper in either ~/Public or ~/Pictures and lightdm would display the wallpaper at login just fine. Use any sub-folder within these directories and purple background would return.
