Export as JPEG can produce a format unaccepted by other photo tools

The Rev docs list two ways to export an image as JPEG - when not using
"export snapshot", namely
export JPEG to URL "binfile:next.jpg"
export image thisImage to file "Thumbnail" as JPEG
The Metacard docs list another variant with
"export jpeg to file tFilename"
To use the two variants beginning with "export JPEG" you need to select
the image first.
All three variants produce JPEG files that can be re-imported or opened
within Rev, however only variant
"export image "x" to file "y" as JPEG"
produces a file that can be opened by Photoshop or PaintShopPro.
The other two trigger error messages like "not a valid JPEG-JFIF file".
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
