Since your quote of the pass travel policy specifically mentioned jumpseat internal policy, I checked it out in the FOM.

Under the reservations section the FOM it says this:

"Multiple jumpseat reservations for the same date and city pair (double bookings) are prohibited. Dual jumpseat and non-revenue reservations for the same flight are prohibited" (my emphasis added).

Since the company specifically only prohibits JS and nonrev listings on the same flight, it stands to reason different listings on different flights are ok, or else they would have added that circumstance as well. It also says that if a confirmed JS reservation will not be used to cancel as soon as possible, preferably 30 minutes prior to departure. That falls under being considerate to other travelers, and seems to acknowledge that there will be some (many?) times that a booked JS will not actually be used.

Also, where you quote the pass travel policy banning listing and activating on multiple flights, that applies only to non-rev travel, not jumpseat travel. That is meant to prevent someone, for example, who is in CDG from listing and activating on a flight to ATL, a flight to DTW, JFK, etc all at the same time.
