You'll kick yourself, but you're feeding an image into the queue, getting an
image back out (via the Structure Index Member), then feeding the image into
the Image With String patch which expects a string. Plug the Index Member
output straight into the billboard, and you get the image as normal.
As a side note, the reason you're seeing something like a structure from the
Image With String is because it expects text (and can only deal with text),
and you're feeding it an 'image'. The thing is, the 'images' passed around
inside QC are not actually images for the most part, but a structure
containing information about the image (like the size, type and location in
memory). The Image With String patch is getting that structure, and just
telling you it is a structure, because it doesn't know that it's a special
structure that describes the image, and it can't parse structures.
