Why does my Mac always crash when I enable `ask for password after screensaver ended`?

I have enabled these two things:

  • Placing the mouse-pointer in the bottom-left corner of any display makes the screensaver appear
  • After the screensaver or stand-by has ended, ask for password

However, this combination always leads to this (Black Screen of Death) after entering the screensaver with the bottom-left corner: please fix your slow internet connection so you can load this image

Here are my system specs:
