Not edition specific at all - MWM Jumpspace article is common to CT and MgT2e, and T5 goes into the same detail.
As to exotic jump particles, Don and I had an email conversation back and forth, and at some point it made it into the T5 draft. So either MWM came up with the idea at the same time as we were discussing it (I think it came up in a T5 playtest thread as well) or Don mentioned it could work as a solution to the collector conundrum. Quite how collectors ended up functioning in empty hexes is beyond me - hence the multi-layering and Casimir like effect I mentioned earlier.
