Does anyone know what might be going wrong here, or why PIL might be
having trouble with these images?
The issue with alexken.jpg appears to be slightly corrupt. Photoshop
CS3 complains "This file contains file info data which cannot be read
and has been ignored." (but still loads the EXIF and some other
info). ImageMagick says "convert: Corrupt JPEG data: 22307 extraneous
bytes before marker 0xe2" but still loads it.

ff e1 (broken across the line boundary) is a marker, 0x7d1f being its
length. Looking where that goes (position 0x9d00), the it's in the
middle of a giant block of spaces and newlines (PIL agrees with my
math here). The next thing that looks like a marker (ff e2) is at
position 0xf423 (0x5723 too far). From there the markers are
consistent. If you chop out that strange part, it works in PIL but
Photoshop still complains.
I don't know what causes it but I notice that both of your bad images
were saved from Photoshop 7 on Windows.
