Vorbisfile only accidentally managed to make this work; having that
jpg in the stream (unencapsulated) renders the file invalid, strictly
speaking.  Other vorbis decoders are very likely to reject it and it
certainly won't work on any portable devices I'm aware of.

Regardless...  The behavior does make me curious as to why one worked
and the other did not.

I'll look at this.  Neither should have been expected to work, but the
fact I can't say why this happens might mean something more
significant.
