Most likely your software embeds the resolution information into the Exif metadata and fails to update the resolution in the JFIF header. That's a minor problem as the resolution is really just some arbitrary number and pretty much meaningless for photographs. There is a bug report about the JPEG plug-in failing to recognize the resolution in the Exif data. If you care, feel free to provide a patch to fix this.
