Well I've worked something out.

If the CGContext supplied buffer that the CIContext draws the results of the 
CIAreaMaximum filter to uses float components it doesn't work. Providing a 
context which is 8 bit ints per component with 4 components RGBA works.

Not the result I wanted, but at least I have something that works even thoug I 
lose some dynamic range.
