I think that backend inherits its support from the GTK backend, which
uses GDK for saving JPEG files, and doesn't do anything with those
options.
I just realized that the Agg support depends on PIL. If you have that
installed, this script should produce a really low-quality JPEG file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('agg')
import pylab
pylab.plot([3,1,4,1,5,9,2], lw=4)
pylab.savefig('foo.jpeg', quality=1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you do have PIL, you could use the non-interactive agg backend. If
you do need to use an interactive backend that doesn't have support for
these options, you could look at the implementation of
FigureCanvasBase.print_jpg and replicate its functionality.

The options are documented, but it's not very easy to find them:
