Background goes white when using 200% scaling on 4k display

I encountered this issue on Ubuntu 19.04 Beta. I downloaded the iso today, and installed the system just today.

I confirmed that the issue below happens on Ubuntu Gnome, Ubuntu Gnome on Wayland, Vanilla gnome session on Xorg, and Vanilla gnome session on Wayland.

I set a background image, and the background goes white when I set my display setting to 3840x2160 with 200% scaling. When I set my background to a solid color, it displays that color fine. The issue happens when I use a jpeg with resolution of 3840x2160 with 200% scaling.

No issue when scaling is set to 100% with the same resolution.

Below is journal log when I reproduce the problem.
