You need to re-read the specs.
That does specify the number of pixels indeed, but there is an alignment
step afterwards, which is specified via GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT (and
defaults to 32 bit alignment btw., so it really should have worked
for your "magically" unless you changed it in the first place).
Lastly, there is always the option one has to use for OpenGL ES
(for which the main design point seems to have been "how can we
design that to make it unusable for video?"): Upload the texture
line by line via TexSubImage. Performance will be bad though.
