SOLVED.

Found the following in memberlist.php:

PHP Code:

        if ($show['profilepiccol'] AND $userinfo['profilepic'])
        {
            $userinfo['profilepic'] = "<img src=\"image.php?u=$userinfo[userid]&amp;type=profile&amp;dateline=$userinfo[profilepicdateline]\" alt=\"\" title=\"$userinfo[username]'s picture\" border=\"0\" />";
        }
        else
        {
            $userinfo['profilepic'] = '&nbsp;';
        } 


So I changed my conditional to the following:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['profilepiccol'] AND exec_switch_bg()"> 
     <td class="$bgclass"> 
         <if condition="$userinfo['profilepic'] != '&nbsp;'"> 
             <img src="/forums/images/misc/pic.gif"> 
         </if> 
     </td> 
</if> 


Works like a charm now.
