Not sure what's up here but you should probably be using SMBX2, since it's a lot more stable and makes things like graphics replacements and background customisability much easier.
I also noticed that you stored it on the D: Drive, for some random reason, SMBX has a problem with finding custom GFX there, so I recommend placing it somewhere on your desktop and see if it works too. Also don't forget to try SMBX2 as Hoeloe said, it's cool.
Backgrounds should be at least 800x600 (or at least the size of the original, whichever is smaller) cause SMBX really doesn't like small backgrounds
Really, since this is SMBX 1.3.0.1 which is technically a very small patch update of SMBX 1.3, I recommend having the custom background resolution to be exactly the same as the background you are replacing.

Though if you use SMBX2 and a custom background ini file, you can use smaller images no problem.
Under the assumption that the background2-n.png file still adheres to these rules, as I've gotten my game to crash reliably with smaller backgrounds even when using background inis.

Why would you want to use small resolution images for your background?
Also, there was a problem where a custom background I wanted to use not properly showing up within the editor until a completely deleted the .ini file.

That was because you had an empty .ini file. You never specified any properties for the background you wanted to draw, so it just drew the default - solid black. That wasn't a bug. It was doing exactly what you told it to do.

I guess, even though the .ini file is created automatically.

It's not. It's only created if you hit the pencil in the editor - which is the "edit background ini" button. That button creates a new ini file and opens it for editing. You don't need to press that to use simple custom background graphics.
