What are you using to determine the type of image? From what I have been
reading, imagemagick tells you about the contents of the image, not the
actual format it is saved in.

$ convert grey.jpg -type TrueColor converted.jpg

$ identify -verbose converted.jpg |grep Type:
  Type: Grayscale

$ djpeg -v -outfile /dev/null grey.jpg 2>&1 |grep components
Start Of Frame 0xc0: width=164, height=238, components=1
Start Of Scan: 1 components

$ djpeg -v -outfile /dev/null converted.jpg 2>&1 |grep components
Start Of Frame 0xc0: width=164, height=238, components=3
Start Of Scan: 3 components

(This shows that there are 3 components and not 1 like the grey image.)
