hi,

it seems known issue wallpaper display second @ user logon or logout. picture specified wallpaper converted , saved trancodedwallpaper.jpg which stored in %appdata%\roaming\microsoft\windows\themes\. if convertion process failed right wallpaper couldn't displayed. seems trancodedwallpaper.jpg in cilents still pointed old file.

you can edit hkcu\control panel\desktop\wallpaper to address it as mentioned in the below thread(which listed many other workarounds):
