The first version of the jack2 metadata header had a typo. It was fixed 
over a year ago, but many
distribution still ship it.

There is no way to autodetect the jack-header version, so ardour just 
assumes you have a proper
jack setup and users who use br0ken distros need to add 
--no-jack-metadata.

Jackd2 currently has implementation for metadata anyway so nothing is 
lost.
