OK I think to get to the bottom of this we need to start over and do some tests.
ArtistSlideShow V 1.6.7
Test1:
Artist "Zola Jesus" NO extrafanart folder present on the file server, AS Transparent Background option OFF
Result:
AS on the main XBMC menu initially shows correctly multiple images for the artist in the AS box.
Upon entering full screen playback mode everything is blank with no images, both the mosaic slideshow and the AS box in the bottom left are blank. Upon returning to the XBMC main menu again the AS box there is now also blank.
Debug Log File:

Test2:
Artist "Zola Jesus" NO extrafanart folder present on the file server, AS Transparent Background option ON
Result:
AS on the main XBMC menu initially shows correctly multiple images for the artist in the AS box.
Upon entering full screen playback mode one static image of Zola Jesus is displayed with pan and zoom affect, the mosaic slideshow which is enabled no longer appears. The AS box in the bottom left is blank with no image. Upon returning to the XBMC main menu the AS box there is now just showing one static image of Zola Jesus and is not changing images as it should.

Test3:
Artist "Grimes" extrafanart folder IS present on the file server, AS Transparent Background option OFF
Result:
AS on the main XBMC menu initially shows correctly multiple images for the artist in the AS box.
Upon entering full screen playback mode everything is blank with no images, both the mosaic slideshow and the AS box in the bottom left are blank. Upon returning to the XBMC main menu again the AS box there is now also blank.

Test4:
Artist "Grimes" extrafanart folder IS present on the file server, AS Transparent Background option ON
Result:
AS on the main XBMC menu initially shows correctly multiple images for the artist in the AS box.
Upon entering full screen playback mode one static image of Grimes is displayed with pan and zoom affect, the mosaic slideshow which is enabled no longer appears. The AS box in the bottom left is blank with no image. Upon returning to the XBMC main menu the AS box there is now just showing one static image of Grimes and is not changing images as it should.
This static fanart image I see in the full screen mode, is the default background image for this artist, so ArtistSlideShow is clearly not working here and the skin must be falling back to the default fanart image.
