The background colour is transparent with X11 and white with jpeg.
What you are doing is to replot over the whole screen, and it will erase
the whole screen. You just don't see that under X11 with the default bg
colour.
If there is a problem at all, it is with X11: jpeg is working as
documented. (Hint: split.screen defaults to erase=TRUE.)
