It is a misdesign however -- because it's not transparent to the reader. If the author of the reader did not handle this JPEG corner-case specifically, then it's going to fail.

I don't think I've come across a reader which doesn't handle this case. Almost all jpeg-in-tiff files use this mode, so you really have to.

It's arguably a basic misdesign with tiff: writers are simple (you can describe almost any pixel layout with a tiff header), but readers are hard (you have to be able to read almost any pixel layout),

Anyway, this is the most common way of handling jpeg compression in tiff, so I think you'll be fine.
