This was an issue with the staging server for ratings and reviews that we had been using with Software Center. The problem is fixed in Software Center version 3.1.24.4, where we updated to point to the production server:

software-center (3.1.24.4) natty; urgency=low

  * merged some small fixes for the backend server of weblive
    from lp:~weblive-dev/software-center/weblive-backend-fixes,
    thanks to Stephane Graber
  * softwarecenter/db/update.py:
    - if no icon_data is transmited from software-center-agent, just use
      the stock item
  * softwarecenter/distro/Ubuntu.py:
    - point to the ratings&reviews production server
