Yes, jumping with battle damage could cause a miss jump, but with my luck the die roll for an undamaged ship would result in a miss jump.;-)
While I recall reading about being able to jump with a force field generator, aka Black globe, I do not feel that this is possible since the black globe supposedly absorbs all types of energy. Not to mention that, per CT LBB 5 1980, that the absorbed energy can be stored in the jump drive's capacitors.

I could see a Tigress jumping out of a battle with heavy damage,
misjumping 36 parsec from the planned RV point, and being presumed
destroyed rather than "lost"
If they were jumping while keeping the Black Globe up, it might be
hard to tell the difference between Jump Flash and the nuclear
missiles going off near the globe.
