The login screen runs as a regular unprivileged user 'gdm' (not root) so
it does (apparently) require that you make any images world-readable in
order for user 'gdm' to be able to read them.
Although I find this slightly surprising. A better design might be for
gnome-control-center to copy the image when you configure it, and ensure
the copy is always world readable. Because the current design does not
seem to be user-friendly...
Anyway, this doesn't seem to be a bug so I will close it.
