Sorry for posting twice on this PIL issue, but perhaps I should use 
"Pillow" as proposed here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pypy-dev@python.org/msg02257.html

I just tried the latest branch from github at:
https://github.com/mattip/Pillow#introduction

and it works :)

But PIL is definetly broken it seems, its also on python Package index 
and also on the gitHub notes.

Thank you Fijal for helping out, hope this message reachs you before 
digging too much. ;)
