  Have you uploaded a Logo or Blavatar for your blog?

  I did upload a Blavatar. And yes, that is the screen where I created my first two posts :-(

  Could it be that my theme doesn’t support this?

  This isn’t likely to be theme related.

  Please read these tips http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize

  We have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
