Plus what if the server routinely alters uploaded pictures, potentially mangling most stego?

That's why most image sites do it. Sites such as FB would otherwise become a conduit for stego messages by every crook on the planet. The only problem is that they mangle too much - some data is illegal to mess with, and some lawyers are waking up to the rather large financial potential that has (and it could not happen to a nicer set of organisations, so I gave that awakening a leg up when I talked to a group of lawyers a while back :) ).
