I went looking for previously uploaded pictures, didn't find any but found this instead:

Seems like the cause has always been described correctly ("read as null from server"  is the same thing as a profile upload glitch), but, of course, without access to the profiles we're never going to be able to find out what the problem with them was. How LBS affects visiting:If a player has LBS themselves, then they can visit their Friends as normal. It is how their Friends visit them that is affected.

When visiting a Friend who has LBS, your game will not be able to retrieve the correct information about their game to display. All relevant values used by your game to display their picture/puzzle/award levels and player information are read in as 'null' from the server.

This can result in one of two things happening, depending on your device:
 * 1) You will be able to visit the Friend. However, the game board that your game displays will not be their board, but a default 'locked' board. All pictures and puzzles, except for Venice (the picture that is opened when a new game is started), will be locked, and you will not be able to charge any of them. The only thing you will be able to interact with is their Venice picture. The players name will also be missing from the bottom of the board, and their level will be listed as '0'.
 * 2) Your game will fail to load the Friend's board, and the game will crash instead, as it cannot display this 'null' information. You will have to re-open the game to continue playing.
