I wonder if we should stop using decode_line_with_last_displayed here,
and instead use decode_line_with_current_source?  It feels like a jump
should always be relative to the current location, rather than what we
happen to have listed.

This change is why I started looking at the details of this patch again.
I'm not sure this change makes sense, I would have expected us to use
get_last_displayed_pspace () here instead of search_pspace, but then it
becomes harder to describe what search_pspace does as it would only be
used below.

It we switch jump to use decode_line_with_current_source then I think
this problem goes away, the changes to decode_line_with_last_displayed
can be dropped.

At the end of this email you'll find a patch that applies on top of your
V3, which implements the change I'm suggesting.  This passes all the
'jump' tests I could find in the testsuite, so I think it's fine, but
it would be great to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,
Andrew
