Have you looked at using Container?

[MeterShapeAsContainer]
Meter=Shape
; Meters used as a container will not be drawn. They are used as a "mask".
; Be careful that shapes are not drawn outside their meter, or they will
; be truncated when masked. Content is only drawn inside the confines of 
; the container meter's W and H.
Shape=Ellipse 100,100,100 | Fill Color 255,255,255,255 | StrokeWidth 0
Shape2=Ellipse 100,100,20
Shape3=Combine Shape | Exclude Shape2

; Use X and Y to position the image in the container.

What jsmorley wanted to say is that you have to add a Container=FavTile option to the [Bild] meter. Unfortnately in your case this doesn1t make too much sense, because the size of the image and the size of the container (in this case the [FavTile] meter) are the same and accordingly you won't see a difference between the two cases (the applied and the not-applied container).
To see such a difference you either have to remove the size options of the [Bild] meter (so remove the H=340 and W=340 options, supposing that the image is larger than 340x340 pixles), or modify slightly the container. For instance apply the following Shape option: Shape=Rectangle 0,0,340,340,100 | Fill Color 50,50,50 | StrokeWidth 0 | Stroke Color 0. In this case the rectangle of the container is rounded a little bit.
