I'm quite sure it is a problem with locales. OpenJade uses strtod (ISO C
function) to parse floating-point numbers. This depends on the
locale for LC_NUMERIC to be set to "C". If SP_HAVE_LOCALE is not set
during compilation, this will not happen and the dot "." may not be parsed
as a decimal point. (Since setlocale(LC_ALL, "") doesn't get called
either, this shouldn't be the case, but I don't know how things works on
WinNT.)

I sent another mail about this to jade-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (and
the bug reporter). It is probably better to move the discussion about the
solution there.
