I've been having the same problem for months. I am hoping CJ is right and switching back to wallpaper gallery backgrounds.
Update: I've switched to wallpaper gallery background, and I've not had the problem once in almost 48 hours. Before I did that, I was having the problem multiple times per day. I am getting more and more sure that this is a fix and not just a coincidental lucky streak.

I'm actually going to try this as well, though I know my father has a picture he took as his background and he has never complained about losing his icons from the home screen.
If I had to guess based on my experience, yours, and cj1986's, I think it really is about available memory. For many people, they are using so little memory that they can have whatever they want as their background and it won't cause a problem (this would be the people who aren't even reading this thread because they haven't had the problem). Then there would be people who are using so much memory that this one reduction won't make a difference (Chillson). Then there are people like me who are right on the borderline of causing the problem, so that any little reduction in memory usage will move me into the low memory usage zone of not having the problem.
Test this theory - remove two or three of your widgets and see if the problem goes away for 24 hours.
