Hey, I don't wanna rock the boat...but...
in the beginning of DMC when Jack is having problems finding a heading everyone's convinced oh well he wanted to find liz be with her...all that jazz....but, initially at least, couldn't have been having the trouble b/c jack wanted to stay away from jones and find that key but he couldn't do both b/c jones had the key...so wouldn't that throw it off...maybe...*ducks down and prepares to be bashed by the masses*

No there are too many clues that show that it was his wanting Liz that throws the compass into a spin...supposedly even the writers state this...
Plus Tia points out that the compass doesn't work for Jack because he knows what he wants but is loathe to claim it for his own....and we know that Jack is vexed, as stated by Mr. Gibbs, because Jack doesn't know which way to sail...and supposedly when he is in the cabin...he is thinking about Liz...thus the "why is the rum always gone" comment
I'm sorry I don't mean to bash you....just that there is nothing that makes the audience think the compass isn't working because he is trying to stay away from Jones...but it's a good thought 😉
