I have this bug too on my 14.04.1 LTS, login does not show my wallpaper
as it should, it shows default Ubuntu wallpaper, lockscreen correctly
shows my wallpaper but login does not, it is a fresh installation and
fully updated.

  3)I change my desktop wallpaper to a picture I have imported from my
  mobile phone or from the internet, Unity greeter should show me my
  desktop wallpaper when I select my User account ready to log in.

  4) Instead, Unity Greeter shows me the default Ubuntu wallpaper.

  
  Oh, I wanted to add that Installing another Wallpaper pack "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers-"releasename" and selecting one of those wallpapers still reverts back to the default wallpaper on the login screen.
