There are two issues, both are not related to color depth. One problem is that the image does not use dithering, second is the jpeg compression. Xsplash renderer seems not to deal with either very well. To resolve this problem, two things can be done: image should have dithered colors and the compression should be lower (ideally none). The latter isn't really possible, due to the limited space on a CD (non- compressed png is about 2.5MB). Attached is the new version, with slightly lower compression and dithering. Please test and report the results!
