Even though the minecraft launcher shows that the custom skin is currently being used, the player will wear a default skin when playing the game. There are no error messages related to this in the launcher.
Edit: does not seem to happen when "use beta version of launcher" is checked off

That is very odd, there shouldn't be any difference between our beta version and the release version. Which version of Minecraft are you launching?
