I'm unable to reproduce with CVS HEAD. The warning about JPEGTables is weird, since this not supposed to be an ASCII tag.

Ah interesting. Perhaps it's an ubuntu or debian packaging problem. I'll check there.

For reference, the problem is in tiff_4.0.6-2ubuntu0.1, the version currently being used in 16.10. Plain 4.0.6 seems to work, but one of the (very many) patches Ubuntu is applying has broken stuff.

To reproduce:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/libtiff5-dev

tar xf tiff_4.0.6-2ubuntu0.1.debian.tar.xz
tar xf tiff_4.0.6.orig.tar.gz
cd tiff-4.0.6
for i in ../debian/patches/*.patch; do patch -p1 < $i; done

I've reported a bug on launchpad.
