I'm guessing it's simply getting a bit dated?  In my experience, as soon
as you fall one on a few stable releases behind, you start experimenting
more problems.  I'm not sure if Jami is supposed to be backward
compatible with previous versions, but even if it was, it's probably not
super well tested.

I'd suggest updating it (but as you noted, that's sadly often not
trivial).  I could provide some assistance if you'd like to pick up its
maintenance.
