That's definitely the MMRTG or its nuclear battery. My guess would be the Department of Energy doesn't want too much about it floating around.

Though it's not like photos of the MMRTG don't exist (e.g.,
http://spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av028/111117mmrtg/
)

There are already lots of pictures of it. Quite sure the DoE doesn't care at all.

What are the reasons for hiding it?

It's odd. I just looked at it again and now the square is gone. Maybe as suggested it was a rendering issue and it was just a coincidence that its was over the battery.
