Helge,

If practical, try with GDAL "svn trunk" and make sure you are using the
latest libtiff source too - the code in the GDAL tree should be fine.

I have done a number of fixes in GDAL and libtiff that tend to come out
with jpeg compressed tiff files and overview generation.  So, hopefully, the
problem is already fixed.  If not, please file a ticket with details.

Best regards,
