The first change is probably OK, as I don't think jadetex ever uses latex verbatim mode. The second change it relies on the fonts having ligatures - + - + - to emdash. This is true of the original tex fonts but wasn't a good idea even then, and isn't true of many other fonts (even when set up for tex). Jadetex already has \DefineCharacter{8212}{\textemdash} %mdash so the unicode slot should get typeset via the latex emdash command without relying on the font ligatures.
