Redfern: Well, i wrote to both Necrophone and Humble Support. Not expecting much usefulness , especially from Necrophone (they either dont get my messages or prefer to ignore uncomfortable ones) but lets see that we get.
Someone from Humble Bundle Inc. got back to me. They re-added the Linux DRM-free download and Jazzpunk-Oct-30-2017-Linux.zip now shows up in both my Humble Indie Bundle 13 purchase page and my unified Humble Library view.
I downloaded and extracted it and all of the stuff in Jazzpunk_Data has a modification date of 2017-09-28 21:09 as well as a few of the other files, so I'm assuming that's when they had Unity do the build.
It also contains level19 through level26 and sharedassests20.assets through sharedassets27.assets files not present in my older installed copy, as well as some PS4-related Mono DLLs, so I'm assuming this is indeed the Director's Cut.
It also drops the 64-bit executable for some reason (the old build had 32-bit and 64-bit ones) but I have so many 32-bit-only games that I'm not going to make a big deal of it and mouselook smoothness seems improved over the older version.
Given the date and the content, I think this is a case where a relaxed version of Hanlon's razor applies. (Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity/incompetence/laziness.)
