Is there a possible conflict between Random Avatar and Badges plugin?

It seems that there is a conflict between these two plugins. It happens that when a random avatar is created, an "avatarblobid" is assigned. If, for some reason, the user decides to change his avatar to "NULL", the following function of the badges plugin checks if there is an "avatarblobid" and the user receives the badge without having actually uploaded the avatar

if (qa_opt('avatar_allow_upload') && isset($useraccount['avatarblobid'])) {
               $badges = array('avatar');
               qa_badge_award_check($badges, false, $userid);
           }

}

Is there a simple way to avoid this conflict? Off course, one could add a new column to the users table for instance in the users table indicating whether it is a random avatar or not. However, I think that this a big change. Is it possible to change the test in order to avoid this?

This plugin randomly selects an avatar from a directory that contains avatar images and assigns it to new users during registration. This way users start with some setup already in place. New avatar images can be added to the directory.

To make it short, just go the GitHub project and download it directly from there. There are also some notes in there that might be handy.

Features:

Images are randomly selected from a directory
Custom images can be added to the directory
No need of core hacks or plugin overrides
Simple installation

You can give it a try downloading it from the GitHub project page.
