I didn't know JHOVE; Wikipedia says about it:

: Documents are analyzed and checked for being well-formed (consistent
: with the basic requirements of the format) and valid (generally
: signifying internal consistency)."

I would say that due to the spec's contradiction with basic TIFF rules
(e.g., duplicate pointers into data) there is no way you can make a
well-formed TIFF when it uses old-style JPEG compression, so I hope
JHOVE always marks this as negative for such TIFFs.
