Ah, yes - good point 452. After reviewing the history of the relevant bug, it looks like this is a limit that previously only applied to PNG, but unexpectedly started being applied to JPG recently, and this does likely explain the recent effects. The reports I saw before the weekend were for images uploaded relatively recently - but broken 2009 uploads do certainly change that interpretation.

In any case, while this does not affect the solution (bumping the limit up to 60 megapixels is something we've wanted to do for a while), I appreciate the assistance in clarifying the root of the issue.

Edit: I will bring that change up with the team, thanks for the link.
