I've converted the script to using VIPS, and it's able to generate tiles 
for the high zoom levels without corrupting them:

Generating each tile is much faster than generating one tile with 
ImageMagick, but doing 1024 in turn is a bit slower. I think I'll need to 
see if I can get VIPS to output several tiles at once)


It should now be fine to use it to generate static tiles of large areas, 
but expect it to take a little while!
