My suspicion is that the writers were trying to remind (some of) the viewers that Jack's not just a fluffy, campy puppy.
The Scoobies were pretty much too stupid to live for the first couple seasons of BtVS, so maybe I'm just inured to it. ;) I'm actually rather shocked at how much better S2 seems to be--but I'm quite aware that it all could turn to crap at any moment.
