Public bug reported:

I hope that this is not inappropriate to submit as a bug report.

As best I can tell, it seems that Ubuntu Zesty (as well as other
versions) is using JasPer version 1.900.1.  This version of the JasPer
software is very old and numerous bug fixes have been made since the
time that this old version was released. It is possible to adopt a newer
version of JasPer the from upstream source?

The most recent version of JasPer is 1.900.22.  See the JasPer web site for 
details:
http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~mdadams/jasper

A link to the 1.900.22 release tarball is as follows:
http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~frodo/jasper/software/jasper-1.900.22.tar.gz

Or alternatively you could just pull code from the master branch of the 
official JasPer Git repository on GitHub:
