Comment:

 Thanks for the explanation.

 I've assumed this was a PHP configuration problem as the error message and
 the limit match exactly the (old) default in PHP. Could you check what are
 the values of `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` to rule them out.
 Also, could you experiment with several different themes (including the
 default Twenty *) to confirm if this is caused only by that theme or is
 more common.

 I know there were some problems with Imagick using more memory while
 resizing uploaded images, but then PHP will run out of memory and the
 error message will be different.
