[Windows 7 Bug] User Picture Disappears from Start Menu After Resizing Taskbar

We have posted about 2 annoying bugs which we found in Windows 7 builds while beta testing: [Windows 7 Bug] Items Reappear After Deleting From Navigation Pane in Windows Explorer
[Windows 7 Bug] User Picture Disappears from Start Menu
All above mentioned bugs have been fixed in the newer builds but now a new bug has arrived. It was found in Windows 7 build 7057.
You can re-create this bug using following steps:
1. Unlock the taskbar by right-click on the taskbar and uncheck "Lock the taskbar" option.
2. Now resize the taskbar and drag it to the maximum height. Now click on Startmenu and user picture will disappear from the startmenu.
3. That's OK. Since there is not much space available on the screen, that's why Windows doesn't show the user picture. But now resize the taskbar again and set it to normal height.
Now the bug appears, Windows still doesn't show the user picture in startmenu even though we have restored the taskbar height:

4. To restore the user picture, you'll need to drag-n-drop the taskbar to left, right or top of the screen and then restore it back on bottom. Now user picture will start showing in startmenu.
