Lay it out like this:

- Your images are being corrupted on upload.

- You've checked, changed, and confirmed that the code used to process uploads is correct and verified by third parties

- The image itself is being corrupted in the upload process. The uploaded image contains part of the headers from the submission, plus extra crap that doesn't belong. Show them the before and after, and point out that the uploaded image ends up LARGER than the original image.

- Make sure they know you've tried uploading with different browser types, removing a broken browser as being the reason for the failure

- Try uploading other images to see if it happens regardless of the source, which will remove the possibility of a broken graphic as the cause

- By the process of elimination (not browser, not code, not image) the only other option would be the way the server handles it.
