I'm with Stewart here, it's just an indicator that TIOBE is just a guesstimate, not some sort of gospel.
Christian is wrong; the existence of jQuery should mean a marked increase in javascript's popularity. If a site uses jQuery then pretty much by definition its a + mark in the javascript column, it is after all a *javascript* library, meant to be used from *javascript*. GWT, that might indeed be causing downward pressure on javascript's index, but the existence of jQuery is itself causing downward pressure on GWT's userbase. With jQuery, developing javascript, even for diehard static language afficionados, is not nearly as bad as without it. Hence reducing the value proposition of using GWT in the first place.
