The "JPEG RTP header" (I assume you mean the payload header, here?) is 
needed. What needs to be removed is an header which is part of the JPEG 
bitstream, referred as "scan header" in the RFC.
This header is generated by the (M)JPEG encoder, and needs to be removed 
by the packetiser in order to generate a valid "MJPEG in RTP" stream 
(such header will be added back by the depacketiser when receiving the 
RTP stream). The patch that has been posted does not do anything 
similar, and as a result vlc generates a lot of errors when trying to 
decode the stream.
