This works for me on Mountain Lion:
Open all the JPG's in Preview so that the files are selectable within the one window, i.e. thumbnails of the JPG's are viewable in the selection pane located the window's left side.
Click in the selection pane and select all the thumbnails with Cmd-A.
Select File > Print... from the menu bar.
Select PDF > (from the drop down) Save as PDF... from within the Print Dialog.
Take it from there...
A rather unsatisfactory solution might be File->Open Recent->*top of the list*
I suggest unsatisfactory because
- it launches a new window
- you have to go and close the old window
- the folder you are in might not be at the top of the list
- it's not a keyboard shortcut
- it's not automatic
- it requires a lot of mousing and a couple of clicks
- it makes me have to think
but i digress with this bitching and moaning, did anyone post an issue with Apple or find the proper solution?

Note: if you're willing to use the command line, you might just want to use ImageMagick directly to crop all of the images.
