That is still semantics if you ask me.

So a jab step move "from the windup", is only considered a pickoff from the rubber when awarding bases on an overthrow, but not considered a pickoff move from the rubber?

This one's simple...
In FED a "jab step" move to pick off a runner from the windup position is illegal, and a balk.
Don't be confused. In FED, a pitcher in the windup position on the rubber can either start his winup and deliver to the batter, or step off the rubber with his pivot foot first.

Who said this, and what is a "jab step from the wind up?"

In any event, a jab step is not a legal disengagement (which only occurs by stepping abck off the rubber), so all the "on the rubber" rules apply.
