I suppose good luck to them then...

That makes two of us....
From the spec:

=The x_offset and y_offset distances and the PAST clipping boundaries are
=measured, in pixels, positive rightward and downward from either the {0,0}
=pixel of the destination image or the {target_x, target_y} position in the
=destination image. They do not necessarily have to fall within the destination
=image. Only those pixels of the source image that fall within the destination
=image and also within the specified clipping boundaries will be copied into
=the destination image. The coordinate system for offsets and clipping is with
= respect to the upper lefthand corner of the destination image, .....

From this I would expect that your x_offset would be -X*dest_width to get 
part X from the image-strip, and the clipping 0,dest_width,0,dest_height.
