Yes, I recently stumbled over it myself. It seems that only GIFs have 
the problem. I suggest to use PNGs instead of GIFs.

If you uncheck the box, then only referenced classes will be used from 
the jar. Since you've only resources in that jar, nothing will be pulled 
in. This creates an error. You have to remove the jar completely from 
the list.
But I think the image doesn't get corrupted during compilation. The 
problem is at runtime. I tried to load my GIFs from the filesystem but 
they painted wrong too (if I remember right)...
