And yes, that too sounds somewhat unfriendly to me, as you are not trying
to display "all jobs and you really are trying to display "only your own
jobs" which was option 1 on that last panel. But that option turns out to
be "only your own jobs" as long as they have "names that match your user
ID" according to the displayed text..

So, this inconsistent handling of PREFIX is an attempt to treat job "names that match your userid" differently from other jobs? That seems entirely consistent with previously-stated observations about common practices at JES2/SDSF shops. In this instance, installations that rigidly confirm to the userid+1 character job naming convention might never notice or complain about this behavioral inconsistency...
