Apparently not. RISC OS 6.14 has the most advanced JPEG rendering, so 
if that does not render it, no other version will.

DPlngScan, PDF and RiScript do not use the RISC OS JPEG rendering 
facilities and use ported standard JPEG rendering code instead. The 
same goes for JPEGs in PDF files imported into ArtWorks if you switch 
off the option "Keep JPEG compressed images as JPEGs".
