I'm with Bob on this one.

I did not ask for a JPG to be output. I asked for an EXIF.
Consider this line:
$result = $image -> Write("$profile:sarah.$profile");
In front of the colon is 'exif'. This is effectively beating IM over 
the head about the desired output.
This is a bug, surely.
If I had just said:
$result = $image -> Write("sarah.$profile");
then you just might argue I was naming the file and not forcing the 
output to be in a specific format, but as it happens, I wouldn't buy 
that one either.
