I have a page I cannot fetch the public profile image from. Why is that, and why does it happen?

The page in question is: (WARNING: NSFW-ish images of strippers, real sorry, only example I could find – no need to view the page anyway)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Texas-Poolhouse/98758030102

I can access the page through the graph API. Notice that the results tell me the ID is 98758030102, as expected:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=98758030102

And even get the image URL this way too:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=98758030102%2Fpicture

However, using the ID, I cannot fetch the image the way I normally do. I just get a blue question mark:
http://graph.facebook.com/98758030102/picture

    Adding the access_token GET parameter to the url makes sure users who are allowed to view the page image will see it (18yo++ in this case). I have, however, not found a way to, through the API, determine when or why pages are not accessible by certain users.
