That looks like a PITA to use; I tend to raise the jib spinnaker-style with big movements. But maybe it works better than I imagine.
Do you think one of them might be causing the fraying on the halyard that is visible in the first photo?
I have the exact same setup and it's great. It's never got stuck or been an issue while putting or taking down the jib in any conditions. And I don't use that hateful Hobie supplied jib halyard, I use a much stiffer double braided line.
Another thing to note is that it is placed center on the mast so there is no pulling of the halyard to the left or right.
