I had a problem a lot like this with both particles. Does it not work yet with them? I also had that problem when using image texture and then clicking the first button with the little folded picture so that you can choose preloaded images. It does not work but if you cick the file loading button on the same line and load the pic it works. Maybe this info will help? I have not filed a bug report on this yet, was planning to confirm on a newer version first but if you do confirm I would like to know so I can file the report, on the other hand I bet it is already filed or known by now.
