Scripting it would be easy as long as you can incorporate the jpg to
bmp conversion. In a long discussion in 2004, Bruce said the built in
capability would get fixed only if anyone writes a new version of
stil32jp.dll. Doesn't seem like there would be much to it for someone
who knows what they're doing. Windows itself uses C++/GDIPlus to
convert jpg files used for wallpaper - it does not display jpg files
directly even though the shell interface makes it look that way.

Just in case anyone wants to pick up the ball, the info provided said
"stil32jp.dll needs a single entry point ConvertBMP(szPathjpg,
szPathBMP, szFolderTemp) where szPathjpb is path to input jpg,
szPathBMP is path to output BMP file, and szFolderTemp is a path to a
folder where temp files can be stored (PowerPro uses GetTempPath to
get this for the routine)."
