Up-and-down and the ball doesn't come out - I think the proper call is jump.
This assumes that the offense did not have opportunity to make a pass or shot attempt. And you have to make that decision. The shooter cannot decide after being partially checked and still having good opportunity to make a release, come back to the floor and say "Well, rather than pass or shoot, I'm gonna take the jump ball." It's not his choice. This situation should be called a travel.
Up-and-down and the ball is knocked out - play on, good defense.
Up-and-down and ball is released by the shooter so it falls to the floor - travel is probably appropriate.
Unless the shooter tries to do something sneaky to make up for good defense I lean toward jump.
So up-and-down and the ball incidentally comes out - jump.
Just my opinion... and I haven't had anybody really question it either.

** except that as listed above: if "up-and-down and the ball incidentally comes out," you have nothing, not a jump.
**and if you have "up-and-down and the ball is released by the shooter so it falls to the floor," you have nothing, not a travel.
**and I think there's a case play about B1 touching the ball in possession by an airborne(shooter/passer) A1, who never loses control nor possession and comes back down to the floor w/out shooting or passing; and w/out defender B1 touching it. That would be travel. Tough one though.
