I think you have found what we in the trade call "a bug" in JSWED.

I'll get straight on to fixing it, but here's a workaround you can
use: Open the guardian editor for the rope in question. Click the "!"
button and you'll get a screen with eight hex numbers. The third one
across gives the position of the rope.

In theory, if the middle digit of the version number is even then
everything in JSWED is supposed to work. If the middle digit is odd,
no guarantees.
