Comment:

 I found a workaround that works only if the theme allows header
 randomization:

 1. Upload a header image that is the exact height, width, or both as
 required by the theme, so no cropping is necessary.

 2. Set header to "Randomize Uploaded Headers".

 This finally allows the header to appear (if it's the only image uploaded
 as a header, it will work as if it's set to be the single header image).
 If the theme header option is not set to "Randomize Uploaded Headers",
 images uploaded as header images ''after'' the upgrade will not appear as
 the header when selected, while images that were uploaded as header images
 ''before'' the upgrade will appear just fine.
