After some testing this issue is related to using images only in shortcodes either on the sidebar or in any form that the avatar module has loading during the crop function.
On a side note, the jcrop issue with missing handles was fixed by deregistering the script and loading in my functions.php with the latest version from their site.
You can use the username: guest and password: guest to login and check it out.
No it’s not, the issue is that the change avatar module is intercepting the linking. If I remove the change avatar page then there is no issue.
You will need to do this which means creating your own bp-custom.php file. It explains on that page.
