It is a trivial change, so submit a patch that allows the 'convert images to jpeg' to be enabled/disabled. You will need to use 'instance of' in your code.
Probably better though would be to change the drawImage handling so that if the incoming image would create a mask if the source image ha an alpha channel, or write the image using a image format that suports transparency and if supported by PDF. You should probably check how Distiller is writing the images.
