Could you try this with the latest version (should be 2.1b2) and
if you still get the error, send in the support form again?  The line
referenced in the stack trace should not throw the error you are getting.
Jeff made some changes that could cause this error, but it looks
like he fixed it.

It's a new feature.  On the image chooser, note there is now a
checkbox to the right of the buttons which says "Create Display".  If
this is checked, the display will automatically get created.  One of
the complaints that users have made is that there are too many
clicks to create a display.  Most people just display images instead
of actually using them (like you), so we added this option and set
the default to be enabled.

If you don't want this default behavior, then uncheck the box.  The
state will be persisted from run to run.
