the example:
  file = StringIO.StringIO()
  im.save(file, "JPEG")
  data = file.getvalue()
works for me (linux, Python 1.5.2, PIL 1.1)

Perhaps you have following problem:
  file = StringIO.StringIO()
  file is a write-only file-like-object

  file = StringIO.StringIO(data)
  file is a read-only file-like-object

  Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, 
  not tried it.
