I tried adding type=jpg and/or method=jpg to the externalfigure arguments, but the file did not compile.
That is a bit odd, I thought that should have worked. But:
I found that by adding the entry "\definefileinsertion{tpd}{JPG}{\handlepdfimage}" to the spec-tpd.tex
This makes sense. So much so that perhaps it could be added to the core spec-tpd.tex file. For now however, putting that line in your local cont-sys.tex is probably better, otherwise you will have to remember to reapply your fix at each context update you do.
file in the context distribution, the externalfigure is able to include this image correctly. Should the mappings in these files be case insensitive?
You could consider using a case-insensitive file system to store your data on, and lowercasing all entity input to ConTeXt, but that is more clumsy than the extra \definefileinsertion-s. Best wishes, Taco
