I confirmed this issue.
It only happens on the BoardIndex query, not in the MessageIndex:

A simple guest check could be added to the set_avatar_data, without tweaking the query:

SMF/Sources/Subs-BoardIndex.php

Lines 406 to 411 in 143b3a7

	if (!empty($settings['avatars_on_boardIndex']))
	$this_last_post['member']['avatar'] = set_avatar_data(array(
	'avatar' => $row_board['avatar'],
	'email' => $row_board['email_address'],
	'filename' => !empty($row_board['member_filename']) ? $row_board['member_filename'] : ''
	));

[DiegoAndresCortes]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Allow guests to post and upload attachments
2. Enable avatars on boardindex for your theme:
   

   SMF/Themes/default/index.template.php

   Line 57 in 143b3a7

   $settings['avatars_on_boardIndex'] = false;

3. Post as a guest, including an attachment.

Result: The avatar of the guest will be the attachment instead of the default avatar.
