Other viewers may render the file just fine, because they can either deal with those fields or simply ignore them. (Glancing over the image header, I believe the issue to be related to either compression and/or some EXIF stuff.) At any rate, opening the offending images in e.g. Windows Paint (mspaint.exe) and re-saving them as JPG will fix the offending header. WIC / Inquisit should then be able to render the file just fine.
