I have tracked the problem back to one of the many device changes made with Karmic.

The default .jedrc file has the following lines in it:

#ifdef IBMPC_SYSTEM
  LINENUMBERS = 2; % A value of zero means do NOT display line number on
#else % status line line. A value of 1, means to display
  LINENUMBERS = 1; % the linenumber. A value greater than 1 will also
#endif % display column number information. I recommend a
   % value of 2 only at high baud rates

When you run Jed under Karmic, you don't see the column numbers on the status line. That is because IBMPC_SYSTEM is not getting defined correctly during startup. All of the terminfo stuff doesn't appear to work. If IBMPC_SYSTEM was correctly defined, all of the keys would probably be correctly defined.
