To my knowledge, user profile pictures are linked to document IDs, and that ID is cached in the application server relative to the username. If you delete a user profile picture from the Documents interface (which is not recommended) and the user uploads a new photo, the doc ID will subsequently change.

sorry about before. but the one insight I had regarding this question specifically, is that instead of restarting the app server, the "delete picture" button can be clicked from the user profile editor, which seems to clear the old doc ids and allows the new image to appear. so in effect, in this specific scenario, "delete picture" actually does the opposite.
