Inconsistent display of deleted former moderators on election pages

Question

On Science Fiction & Fantasy, the election page shows two users elected in 2012 whose have 'departed' the site:

However, Webmasters' election page shows a rather broken image instead:

Am I missing something (hence the support tag) or is this a bug which might be fixed by regenerating the page?

Clearly this is an urgent bug that needs CM attention ASAP. </s> — Rand al'Thor, Commented Mar 5, 2018 at 21:20

There's no real support in the system for handling candidates who get their accounts deleted. So things fall apart.

If anyone notices, I put a tacky placeholder image up and call it good.

You should have better things to do on a Monday night than solving silly bugs like this :-P

strictly-speaking, it's Monday afternoon, and I'm trying to shake off the lunch lethargy.

It's Monday evening UTC. And it's dark where I am.

Well, can't say I agree with living in darkness, but to each their own.

In the future, what's the preferred avenue of alerting y'all of these incidents? A [bug] post on the site's own Meta? A ping in the Tavern? A post like this?

Mushrooms like living in darkness... so it can't be all bad.

One could curse the darkness, or turn on the lights. Post Lunch lethargy on the other hand....
