Did you take the screenshot in a *console*?

Here is an example done from a console:

Description: JPEG image

I did:

M-x eval-buffer RET
M-x framebuffer-screenshot RET
M-! ppmtojpg ... > ...

I am not sure why, but when I do the same thing in an xterm (in the same
emacs session, but with a different client, obviously), I end up with
this:
