It’s a bug, the script is failing to handle the fact that the camera is very slightly slow in delivering the image after taking it.
To avoid this:

Instead, press the “Start Tether” button.
The result is (almost) the same; when you click Shutter Release the images ARE immediately downloaded (because the tether is running), but it’s by a different piece of code that patiently waits for the image to become available rather than demanding it immediately. Read more...
