Maybe the solution on Leopard is as simple as to stop trying to give

Yeah, all you can really do is experiment till you find something that
works for now, and then wait for it to break the next time iTunes'
internals get changed. It's schlonky stuff, unfortunately.
BTW&FWIW, appscript - which follows AppleScript's lead on such matters
- doesn't even attempt to convert between typePict/typeTIFF/typeJPEG/
typeGIF/typeEPS descriptors (there isn't a typePNG, AFAIK) and native
classes. So you're free to pack, unpack and otherwise experiment with
these raw descriptors without the bridge interfering. (And if anyone
finds a solution that works, please drop us a note and I can post a
demonstration of it for future reference.)
File bugs on iTunes' artwork APIs, and go jump up and down on the
AppleScript team to spec this stuff properly so that application
developers know what they're meant to do.
Good point, but as the OPs have yet to respond, will leave that to
them.
The more the merrier...
Cheers,
