This didn't work with palette images, for which I got an error like: "ERROR 1: JPEGSetupEncode:PhotometricInterpretation 3 not allowed for JPEG"

Enhanced error reporting would be great, but this particular issue could (should) be addressed in another way.

It's a pretty common case that visual images can be stored either as palette or RGB(A). However, when you want to re-size, or warp an image, palette often doesn't work well -- you'll generally get a better image if you allow interpolated (anti-aliased) colors.

In your case, I'd probably convert all the palette images to RGB, then do your warping, which would solve your compression issue, as well as give you better results.

It would be nice if GDAL could (optionally) do this on-the0fly internally, when re-scaling or warping images, but I don't think it can (am I wrong?)
