Serving untouched data through Mapbox's static API

I would like to use Mapbox's static API to serve some PNG images in which I have encoded georeferenced data, so that I can do some JavaScript data manipulation on the client side (I don't want to show these images). My problem is that this data cannot be changed - reprojected or scaled, and I only have it in EPSG:4326, not in EPSG:900913 and not in the resolution of any zoom level.

Is there a way to tell Mapbox to store the raster data in its original form, without changing it, and just serve a rectangular chunk of it centred on a particular location?

The short answer is you can't do this: Mapbox's API is ESPG:900913-only. The long answer is that if you really want to, you can use GDAL to represent your ESPG:4326 image as a non-geographic 900913 image. This is, to be clear, the long route and means that you'll need to do all of the reprojection math to determine the geographical transformation from the original data to the now-fake coordinates.
