Hi,
please forgive me if I sound cheeky-but I believe that there is a really
simple cure for this problem. 

Why not include a routine into your app that simply deletes the ARM JPEG
library whenever it finds it on the device. You could even integrate a
warning alert resource that asks the user if he wants the behaviour...

application is used by a lot of very non-technical people and I was
concerned about the support issues if I distribute two different library
modules and expect people to install the correct one according to their
device or O/S version. Right now I have gone back to just supplying JpegLib
and doing it all in 68K mode, but I can see even on my T3 that it is a lot
slower than using pnoJpegLib.

application & data.

Correct, this is the way to go...
