Recref is right. When you pick it up with one foot down, you can either leave that foot and jump stop or take a step. Once you take that step, you lose the right to a jump stop.
Sorry, I left out the part where the ball is picked up in mid-stride.

So let me clean this up a bit. The move I frequently see is: the dribbler picks up his dribble, in mid-stride, comes down on one foot, goes off of that one foot and lands on both simultaneously, then jumps for a shot.

As originally described, recref's objection is correct.
