post processing with either exiftool or exiv2 is a potential solution to this
bug (And probably the best way forward. I don't think we want to write our own
metadata writer). Would require making sure such a program is available on the
server (which might already be the case).

ImageMagick also has -caption and -title options we can use without resorting
to using another binary. It should probably be investigated what sort of
metadata these options produce in the image (The docs are very vague, but
testing that should be easy). -label Should also be investigated.
