Using 3.4.7634 P

I have the Artist image and Bio stacked in the left main panel. I find that when I select a track the bio updates immediately. But the artist photo doesn't update until a track is actually played. Is this the expected behavior? If so, isn't that a little odd? I'm reading a biography of Yo Yo Ma and looking a picture of Jerry Garcia.

Track information > Playing Track or Selected Tracks.
I don't think that's an answer.

I'm usually on "selected' tracks. The bio updates on each track selected. The artist photo does not.
When on "playing" tracks neither get updated until a track is played. This makes complete sense. But the "selected" tracks option doesn't make sense. If one is going to get updated upon selection (bio) then the other (artist photo) should also.

selected artist picture is not supported and in fact you shouldnt be able to choose "Selected Track" for the artist picture (I have your settings file and confirmed that is the case for your settings)
