It is not everyone's avatars. I believe it happens when the owner of the avatar is using a MSN profile to provide her/his picture.
The screen will freeze on a post without an avatar, the MSN communities login window comes up, if you cancel the "pop up" then you get an avatar box with the "X" suggesting a broken link on that post.
When you are using a popup blocking browser you get just the box with the "X"
