Beware that the JPEG's in an MJPEG stream (thus, those dumped out
by lavtrans) are in a slightly different colorspace than the
ones you want for plain old still images. (E.g. black is at
Y'=16, and white is Y'=235; chroma is similarly compressed.)

This is about as clean as it gets if you want the correct colorspace.
Fixing up the colorspace requires at a minimum:
1) decompress to Y'CbCr
2) convert video Y'CbCr to graphics Y'CbCr
3) recompress to JPEG
The pipeline you have above replaces (2) with:
2.0) convert video Y'CbCr to R'G'B'
2.1) convert R'G'B' to graphics Y'CbCr
I imagine the decompress/recompress cycle is the biggest source of loss.
