http://brush.co.nz/hivemind-australia-jpeg2000.pdf contains three JP2 RGB softmasks that - when extracted - look suspiciously like grayscale softmasks that are just somehow wrongly classified as RGB. Adobe Reader seems to be able to make sense of these softmasks, so they should be repairable.
This is fixed in: commit 2f8c9375dc0624aff0bac7f5efe4dcbee78453a4 Author: Robin Watts <robin.watts@artifex.com> Date: Wed Feb 27 19:01:41 2013 +0000 Force colorspaces to match with JPX images. If the colorspace given in the dictionary of a JPX image differs from the colorspace given in the image itself, decode to the native image format, then convert. This goes a long way towards fixing "1439 - color softmask fails to draw jpx image.pdf" (aka hivemind.pdf). The lack of transfer function support hopefully explains the rest. Thanks!
