I should correct this, but I suspect the error will have to stand, if only as an exercise in over-coming my anal-retention. :-)Good eye, and thanks for letting us know about Tiger.

If you do as you show, your jpeg will be a folder icon.Also, selecting the preview image in Get Info and pressing cmd-x will remove the custom icon.This does not work as shown in Tiger. In the Get Info window the file preview is of the document type, not a preview of the image. Sorry, you said your post was for the anal-retentive, so I just have to say this.
