Looking at some other error reports and bug tracker I can see that a common issue seems to be if you have any special characters in your file name it can throw things off. Try renaming the file to something really simple and seeing if it helps.

Also good advice from @Vanamonde here from this thread:

" To make my flags, I opened a stock one in Paint, saved it under a new name, and then painted over the existing image. That way it was certain to have the same formatting and whatnot as the others."

So that might be another solution to your problem.  Other than that I'll defer to someone's greater knowledge as I must confess I've never done a custom flag myself

Good luck!
