I have submitted a patch for this a couple of times over the past few
years.  It indeed needs to be fixed in the jade tex backend.  I suppose
that means that patch never got into the (open)jade releases.  If you
want to make your own (open?)jade and want the patch, I think I can
still find it -- drop me a mail please.
