How are you getting around those issues? Very interesting! I only saw issues w stripping metadata on JPEGs (same issues you saw).

The only solution I found is to build a new tool, and that required a complete rewrite of existing optimizers and significant changes to underlying libraries.
But can't you choose the compression algorithm in those tools? I know you can in ImageOptim and JpegMini...
It's not automatic then, which is critical for batch processing, and does not solve all the problems, and create new usability problems for most users.
