Facebook user has no avatar, please help he find the reason and a possible workaround

I have a Facebook application and showing Facebook Connected users at my pages.

But I see this particular user's avatar is just blank. So even Facebook's own "no photo" image is not showing as well as it's "f" logo in the bottom right.

User ID: 1429277256 (Chantel)

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/s.php?k=100000080&id=1429277256

Can't get why it's so weird and is there any way to determine such users?

+3 A:

If facebook's own avator is also not showing, its a bug/issue with facebook itself and not something related to your application. I would suggest reporting this to facebook as a bug and then waiting for them to fix it.

Edit: The issue seems to be that the user tried to upload an image, but the file got corrupted during the upload and now its showing the broken image icon. Just ask the user to re-upload his image, most likely that would fix it.
