Would this then mean that PIL would also fail complaining about "wrong
architecture" when running under 64-bit Apache?

My best guess (as I've never poked around in the guts of PIL) is
that there is a pure Python version that is slow-as-molasses and
then a sped up C version which is used if possible (_imaging.so).
PIL invoked from Apache will thus probably use the slow-as-molasses
version as the import of _imaging will silently fail somewhere in
the Python code but be caught by an exception handler.
PIL is lazy. It will give you back an image object that will be
filled in when you look inside it. Thus, the pure Python create
image works, but the lazy hook bombs when you try to actually do
something with the image.
Thanks,
