LC 8.1.2 Corrupts Color in JPEG?

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

I don't ever remembers seeing this before:

1) new stack in LC 8.1.2(RC2)

2) create image "imageToResize"

3) make button

on mouseUp
Answer file "choose an image"
set the filename of img "imageToResize" to it
end mouseUp

Result: incoming green values in the JPEG are swapped out for red! what we would call in print "magenta pollution."

FYI this is no subtle subjective change but a serious color values shift.  color is the same immediately on import before and after any size changes by script. quality mode of the image object is set to "best" but has no effect. Color is corrupted

Any clues?
