It doesn't matter if the cryptographic algorithm is one in a trillion. If there's a concurrency bug in the application which applies the algorithm the wrong account could be flagged against a legitimate image in the database. If the human involved overly trusts the system they may not validate against the actual file in the users account, or may assume the user deleted it somehow and figure its "safter" to let law enforcement figure it out.
Bugs in the application of the code, combined with human complacency and mistakes can certainly lead to errors, even if the cryptographic algorithm itself was perfect.
