I'm not sure, based on the specs only, what the decoders should do if 
the segment does not follow the definition.

I only found this in T.81:
"The APPn (Application) segments are reserved for application use. Since 
these segments may be defined differently for
different applications, they should be removed when the data are 
exchanged between application environments."

And in T.872, the mention about "Adobe\0".

But, I agree ignoring it is more robust, and I confirm imx-jpeg can 
decode such jpegs.
