Consider filing a bug report: `M-x report-emacs-bug'.

For a starter, the doc string of `dired-jump' says what happens if "in a file" or "in Dired", but not what happens otherwise.

Looking at the `dired-jump' code (from a recent 24 Dev snapshot), it seems that `default-directory' is used for the otherwise case.  That should at least be documented.
