No effect on GNU/Linux either, just an error message:

   Invalid or undefined bitmap `/path/to/b-rock-grey.jpg' [3 times]

Are arbitrary image formats such as jpgs supported for the stipple
attribute? If I do:

(face-remap-add-relative 'default
 '(:stipple "/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/xsnow"))

then something happens.

"Face Attributes" in the lispref says:

`:stipple'
     The background stipple, a bitmap.

     The value can be a string; that should be the name of a file
     containing external-format X bitmap data.  The file is found in
     the directories listed in the variable `x-bitmap-file-path'.

Maybe the Nextstep port "supports" other stipple types...
