Not a bug. That is a machine portrait.

Same here — I'm unable to play as the Origin: Wilderness. As you can see in the picture, I haven't selected Gestalt Consciousness. However, I still get the error shown in the image, saying I need to remove Mutualistic Intelligence (Hive Mind).
Not a bug. It's telling you you have to take the hive mind authority, not that you need to remove it. Living planets are hive minds.
