Can you attach a sample original image (smaller than, say, 200KB) to this
bug report that shows this behavior? Also, does modifying the original
image with ImageMagick's convert utility also mess up the EXIF data? If
you use a different program to read EXIF data after modifying the image,
does it show the same problem?
