Does anyone know if JPEG XL encoders can be prone to the infamous JBIG2 "Pattern Matching & Substitution" region-reuse issue, that so badly affected Xerox copiers?

Are there any easy-to-use tools for ?

Gimp doesn't seem to support it (yet?), and I just can't wrap my head around how to use jbig2enc -- it spits out some data to STDOUT that 'file' can't identify.
I just find the concept of lossy bilevel images compression fascinating, and I'd love to play with it to see how badly it would butcher something like a Floyd-Steinberg dithered image (and how much compression it'd actually accomplish)

Working through hitches with the last document:
- font in last tweet wasn't getting used (had to tweak it in FontForge)
- bits of text underlay visible (optimization fixed it)
- encoder used by optimization scrambled glyphs (disabled; I can't trust it now!)
