I don't think it is outside the purview of DeadDrop. It is a huge bug that MSOffice files, PDFs, images, etc. leak meta data to the journalist. Meta data can (and should) be stripped on the fly during upload and never logged.
Anonymity through obscurity is pointless if the journalist can be compelled to turn over original files (containing meta data) that could identify the source.
