we do a similar thing for auto-generated images, except we use a custom
PerlHandler to generate the images instead of mason.
<Location /img>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler AA::ImageHandler
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>
another option is to use mason the way you currently do, but name the
files appropriately (.jpg|.jpeg) and simply tell mason to handle these
as well
<LocationMatch "^/thumbnails/.+\.jpe?g$">
hope this helps

I'm a little embarrassed to reveal this, master of no trade that I am...
My Mason lab is a small ecommerce site where <LocationMatch "\.html$">
hands the file to Mason. Pages contain thumbnails of pictures generated
by ImageMagick through Mason. I'm sure this is inefficient, but having
only one size of the photo on the server and using Mason's cacheing
seems to work pretty well and is easy to maintain.
These thumbnails are included into html source by
<img src="/thumbnail/pic_file_name.jpeg/scale_factor.html">
where the dhandler strips the html extension and reads the scale factor.
Knock-on effect (I *think*): For some reason Yahoo Slurp has been
indexing these URI's as if they really were html pages, and apparently
penalizing the site for trying to game the search engine with an excess
of pages with little or no content.
I'm testing this theory by putting an appropriate disallow statement in
robots.txt. I'm posting to mason users to ask if any one might have
knowledge related to this they would be willing to share.
Thanks.
