I'm going to systematically dismantle my form so I can figure out
what's going on. I'll report my findings.

I'm right here. :) But I'm pretty sure (can never say 100%) that the
code in the tutorial lets you edit an existing record and not upload
a new image without any errors. I know I tried it, and no-one else
has reported it not working (so far). Of course it's always possible
you've found an approach I didn't try, so if you get the same error
from the tutorial code, definitely let me know.
