A workaround is to copy the desired wallpaper into /usr/share/backgrounds and rename it using one of the filenames of the default files found there:
$ sudo mv /usr/share/backgrounds/Delicate_Petals_by_lefthandgergo.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/Delicate_Petals_by_lefthandgergo.bkp
$ sudo cp ~/Pictures/a-blue2.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/Delicate_Petals_by_lefthandgergo.jpg
$ sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/backgrounds/Delicate_Petals_by_lefthandgergo.jpg

Now, opening System Settings -> Apperance should display your photo as Delicate_Petals_by_lefthandgergo.jpg
