Funny you're mentioning this problem as I've been trying to get a thumbnail 
icon of a pdf document and I get pretty much the same results. It doesn't seem 
to matter whether I use NSInterpolationHigh or NSInterpolationNone, at least I 
couldn't see any difference in the resulting image in Preview even when 
magnified.
