When adding an image as folder it is decoded with large black borders. Open and save of the JPG in photoshop will remove the problem so it appears to be a specific JPG reading issue. Have seen this behavior before but finally got around to report it as an error so it's not a one off.  
Running v3.04b of MP3Tag

You are correct. It looks like my report and even though I did a search I did not find it so the topic i created can be closed and removed.
