We get a "Not a JPEG file" for the working original. Resolve this issue so we can reproduce the issue in our local environment.

[josch]

$ identify working.orig.jpg
working.orig.jpg JP2 60x60 60x60+0+0 8-bit sRGB 0.000u 0:00.001
$ file --mime working.orig.jpg
working.orig.jpg: image/jp2; charset=binary
$ file working.orig.jpg
working.orig.jpg: JPEG 2000 Part 1 (JP2)

I downloaded the version from this issue. md5sum should be 8e824e6e06227579ae0055eb392ca91c All tools above say that it's of jpeg type.
