I've been building and packaging it for tiff for Hylafax+ for a couple 
years. Actually I supplied and maintain that one in the graphics repo.

No problems but I also never actually USE the jbig support specifically. 
I use the tiff and ghostpdl and hylafax+ all with jbig support enabled, 
a lot and in heavy production, but not specifically jbig faxes or pdfs 
so far.

I just know the upstream jbig-kit code has hardly changed in years.
