I didn't know JHOVE; Wikipedia says about it: : Documents are analyzed and checked for being well-formed (consistent : with the basic requirements of the format) and valid (generally : signifying internal consistency)." I would say that due to the spec's contradiction with basic TIFF rules (e.g., duplicate pointers into data) there is no way you can make a well-formed TIFF when it uses old-style JPEG compression, so I hope JHOVE always marks this as negative for such TIFFs.
