In this very case, however, I really have problems counting this as a real JS (at least the first one reported, with the lava, for the obvious reasons I explained above).
More about that below.
The second one mentioned above by Surcouf is new to me....and is indeed a Jack-stuck of the evil kind.
This one is easy to repair and I will do so later today. It will be fixed in the next UD. (Thanks for reporting it, Surcouf).
Now to the lava situation:

If you are really so keen on seeing this fixed, the only thing I can offer is to make the last unit of the lava into Layer-4 instead of Layer-5 (see my post above).
BUT: This will have the downside that almost every player will lose a life there if he doesn't take care and jumps very early, due to Jack's head coming into contact with Layer-4 lava.

Why not ?
Because the platform is hidden
insidethe rightmost red square block BEFORE it is activated.....(so as to not immediately give away that there is a platform at all and secondly, for design reasons).
Therefore it is NOT possible to insert a
