IOW because they are from the rubber the bit about becoming an infielder because he stepped off doesn't apply because he's still considered on.
The ruling about the jab step is in writing in the MLBUM. The jump step is considered as being in the same category by interpretation.

I'm sorry, I cannot speak to what you are saying without reading the text of the MLBUM, for which I have been tearing up my room looking for. Would you mind quoting the pertinent section?
ETA: I cannot believe I can't find my MLBUM. I'm so frustrated right now. Sorry.
