Alex,

Sorry, I don't know. Normally "Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area" should take two
standard parallels, but it makes no difference here. I tried

gdalwarp -s_srs "+proj=eqc +lat_ts=0 +lon_0=0 +datum=WGS84"
-t_srs "+proj=laea +lat_1=20n +lat_2=60n" -co TFW=YES NE2_land_only.jpg NE2_land_only_laea.tif

which reports
...
Upper Left  (-180.0111111,  89.4085425) (  0d 0'5.82"W,  0d 0'2.91"N)
Lower Left  (-180.0111111, -89.3968263) (  0d 0'5.82"W,  0d 0'2.91"S)
Upper Right ( 179.9964220,  89.4085425) (  0d 0'5.82"E,  0d 0'2.91"N)
Lower Right ( 179.9964220, -89.3968263) (  0d 0'5.82"E,  0d 0'2.91"S)
Center      (  -0.0073446,   0.0058581) (  0d 0'0.00"W,  0d 0'0.00"N)

but the file is not reprojected either.

I don't know if it is related but I found many instances where gdalwarp fails
on global files. I reported that twice, last one on ticket
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2305
but unfortunately it didn't deserve any attention.
