Does it seem like a hardware issue or just me expecting too much?
I agree, this photo renders very blotchy and poorly dithered on my K2 as well, and enabling/disabling dithering appears to do absolutely nothing?!

Simply resizing didn't help it on mine either. I had to actually go into photoshop, resize it, and then manually dither it by using "Save for Web & Devices..." and manually loading the K2 15 (well, 16 with two whites) color table (attached). After this, then the photo rendered as expected.
