CMYK JPEGs appear fuzzy when using subsampling

I'm using ImageMagick to convert RGB JPEG images to CMYK for print purposes. However, some of the JPEGs are coming across blurred after the conversion. After playing around with images, I think I've narrowed it down to JPEGs that were saved with subsampling (ie, 2x2, 2x1, etc). Images that were saved without subsampling (1x1) convert just fine.
Example (good results):

I am using ImageMagick 6.6.8. Is anyone aware of an issue with the CMYK JPEG coder?
Example (good results):
Code: Select all
convert test_rgb.jpg -sampling-factor 1x1 -profile sRGB.icm -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc test_cmyk.jpg
Code: Select all
convert test_rgb.jpg -sampling-factor 2x2 -profile sRGB.icm -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc test_cmyk.jpg
