I don't see anywhere in your code where you are compressing the content 
with s3tc_dxt5 compression. I believe (though I have no experience using 
compressed textures), that if you're just trying to get the GL to use an 
internal format with compression you need something like:

         glTexImage2D(
             GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0,
             GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA_S3TC_DXT5_EXT, # internal format...
             ix, iy, 0,
             GL_RGBA,
             GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
             image
         )

so that the GL will do the compression of the data. Incidentally, 
there's a bug in the handling of uploading compressed texture data 
(refactoring error), a fix for that should go out in the next release.

Sample code here:
