Yes, this seems to have been a problem with my test setup.
Possibly related to the fact that some Freeciv variants need extra
graphics.  (Teamciv needs a marker, at least one modpack needs tiles
for new unit types).  But I haven't established what the exact problem was.
Also, new graphics get added in newer versions now and then.
I don't know what happens if you use a tileset that doesn't have
a particular graphic.  For unit types the rulesets can list a fallback,
but what if there is no fallback?  (E.g. for the marker sprite in Teamciv.)
