Server hangs after receiving image files

After receiving an image file (doesn't seem to happen for gifs), the server will hang with this error:

The server still sends out messages from Telegram, but cannot send them if you try to send a message via IRC. The HTTP server also hangs. This does not stop until a restart, making this a very big problem. Any idea what's wrong here? Perhaps a telegram library needs to be upgraded?

Can confirm this occurs only when accessing images.

There is more in this error message for me: on_telegram_update 'UpdateServiceNotification' {'_': 'UpdateServiceNotification', 'type': 'API_ERROR_UPDATE_UNOFFICIAL_224', 'message': 'Error. Please update your app to the latest version or switch to the official version of Telegram.', 'media': {'_': 'MessageMediaEmpty'}, 'entities': [], 'popup': True, 'inbox_date': None}

I guess this means the associated Telethon version isn't keeping up with the current API.

If it's simply an issue with Telethon, it would be good at least to catch the error in a way that doesn't make the server hang. I can handle images not working, but if that also means I can't receive messages at all, it's a big problem.
