Where is this said in the spec?
The file jpg/12bpp.jpg from the FATE-suite triggers this. It has a
Huffman table with 226 entries.
(Sorry, should have mentioned the sample in the commit message.)

I have never heard of these restrictions. Would you care to elaborate
which part of the spec they refer to?
Anyway, IIRC there is no restriction against duplicates in the Huffman
table, so one could use even more than 256 values (i.e. there might be
spec-compliant pictures that are not supported by both our decoder and
the current version of cbs_jpeg); it just makes no sense. Notice that
the sample mentioned above has no duplicate values in any Huffman table.
