It seems there is no file:current available at all within GIFBUILDER.
So you will have to use a LOAD_REGISTER as a workaround.
And you should use the publicUrl to avoid fetching information twice.

renderObj = COA
renderObj {
   10 = LOAD_REGISTER
   10.currentImage.data = file:current:publicUrl
   20 = IMAGE
   20 {
     ...
   }
}

IMHO this is a bug, since the information should be always available 
inside the FILES object, but the workaround might help until this has 
been fixed completely.

Cheers
