>Perhaps as part of iOS 4.3, Apple has allowed Safari to circumvent this restriction but not any other application.

Given Safari is the biggest attack surface and regularly falls prey to exploits they should also disable the JIT for Safari. (Most iOS exploits like the Pwn2Own ones, and jailbreakme.com ones are due to bugs in Safari.)

IIRC, the jailbreakme.com exploit relied on a flaw in libtiff.
Entry point was Safari though.
