I have a superficial measure against this, which is having two user accounts, one of which is superficially similar to mine. If it is easy to send two images which unlock with different passwords then that could be an anti-rubberhose cryptanalysis measure?

Yes, some encryption programs (notably TrueCrypt) offer the ability to have two different encrypted areas, with different passwords, inside the same container (e.g. a file). You put, say, your pr0n collection into one, your sekrit revolutionary propaganda into the other, and in response to rubberhose unlock the appropriate one.
