The error's actually appearing in the console window for the resource
editor - I open the background info window and use the file browser
button for the "Image:" field, select the bitmap file and then try to
close the info window. Any redrawing of the resource window keeps
bringing up the error.

I just tried this on OSX and I get a dialog appearing with the following:
"Can't load image from file 'page1b.bmp': file does not exist.
no bitmap handler for type 1 defined"

This is with an existing project, or creating a new one and using the
resource editor 'wizard' to generate the necessary .rsrc.py file in while
case the background section looks like:
'backgrounds': [
    {'type':'Background',
     'name':'bgTemplate',
     'title':'Standard Template with File->Exit menu',
     'position':(267, 301),
     'size':(800, 600),
     'image':'page1b.bmp',
     'style':['resizeable'],

I decided to try out a 'safe' bitmap file of 640x480x8 bit (BMP and JPG)
but got the same issue.
