jade:I: Jade version "1.2.1"
jade:I: SP version "1.3.4"

bit hard to tell which jadetex version.
under debian it is packaged as version 3.12-2

the jadetex  changelog says  2002-01-14 09:12
pdfjadetex -v says 
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.7) 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-20011114-ojmw
kpathsea version 3.3.7

I have openjade installed but am not actually using it.
openjade:I: "OpenJade" version "1.4devel"
openjade:I: "OpenSP" version "1.5pre6"

I believe I have the latest debian unstable pdfjadetex package. 
Actually it turns out that 
/jadetex/base/ucharacters.sty contains this unusual line

\DefineCharacter{952}{3B8}{\ifmmode \theta \else \texttheta \fi}%

which could be overridden in jadetex.cfg as

\DefineCharacter{952}{3B8}{\ensuremath{\theta}}

hope this is useful
