Yes, I've been thinking about that, but haven't figured a 100% good way yet. Generally a good idea, but very difficult, as you can see in your sample. The text size and alignment is not correct any more. That's probably because you made that text in Gimp, and it uses slightly different font sizes (or hinting, or a different antialiasing setting, or whatever). It is not impossible to get it right, but it is hard.
The only solution that might work and be relatively painless at the same time would be to produce two layers from the same source at different resolutions and composite them later. But that brings us to the problem of positioning the upper layer pixel-correctly (possibly sub-pixel). Also, no matter what you do, you have to do everything at least twice, since the font in the title image has yet another size. I try to reduce those manual steps using Gimp and the like to a minimum, because ImageMagick runs from a script and so the suite of 3 images can be reproduced with one double-click if you make a change to the layout. It takes a long time to set up and figure out initially, but I think it is worth the effort on the long run. If someone wants the background to be aquamarine tomorrow, it takes 10 seconds to do that. With many manual steps in between, it takes 15-30 minutes to try out even a tiny change.

Using 8 bpp, I get similar results.

I invoke AStyle about 40-50 times per day, don't notice anything unusual.
