The parsing of USerComment fields (and similiar EXIF text fields) is completely wrong. Image::ExifTool gets it right, and also shows that the handling of these fields is quite complicated (and guesswork). More details and a test image can be found here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=381030 It doesn't look this can be fixed easily, unless somebody else can come up with the time to write a patch.

I have released v1.26 which should fix this issue by applying a stop-gap solution when parsing Exif text (ASCII or UNDEFINED) fields. The fix is probably not 100% fool-proof, but it works with your testimage and the other .jpg already included in the testsuite. If you have further issues, please re-open this bug by replying, or open another bug report. Thank you for your report! :)
