Concerning your first question, jpgcrush is calling (read smart brute forcing) jpegtran. So it doesn't surprise me that the result is optimized and possibly also progressive, if that is the best choice.
Concerning your second question, if I understood well the hint link (cf. http://x264.nl/developers/Dark_Shikari/loren.html), his first name is "Loren" (or "loren" as I don't now if the captcha is case sensitive or not). Let me now if it has worked.
