A little peeking in the code reveals that jade decides to produce
a length spec or not as value of (+ ...) and (- ...) based on the
length-spec-ness of the first argument, while the theory demands
the result to be a length-spec if *any* argument is one.

Short of a patch for this bug, try this workaround:

space-after: (+ (- (display-size)) 3cm)
