It took me a while to get there ... but I got there.
It's on my favorite PRESS 1052, and only jams to the main elevator tray when sorting or offset sort, but not stapling. I got two clues which I ignored for far too long:
1) two nicks in the leading edge slightly front of center.
2) paper stalled on the horizontal path to the main tray just shy of the exit rollers.
When I cleaned the finisher rollers I actually got a few pages to pass. When the clouds began to clear from my mind, I compared the nicked leading edge to the configuration of rollers, flappers and mylars at the exit. Obviously, the jam is happening somewhere between PS1 at the finisher entrance and PS10 at the exit (Wow! That helps! Just the whole finisher.)
At the very last set of exit rollers there is a black mylar intended to guide the paper over the two flippy arms (do you like that technical terminology? "flippy arms" I made that up myself.) That center part of the mylar is doubled up, and in this case had worn through one of the layers. The exiting paper was dragging on the central layer of two sided tape that sticks the two sides together.
Since the intention seems to be to guide the paper over the edge of those flippy arms, I figured it didn't really need the central part of that mylar to perform it's function, so I snipped out the worn part leaving a reptilian forked tongue.
I've ordered the mylar. It will take a month to get, and be a treat to install like the rest of the finisher mylars, but I think it will work until then. Count?: 2.3M

Note the interesting twist to the pictured finger. If you want one just like that, you can feed it into the registration clutch drive of a Mita DC-3255. Then yank it out. I won't improve your dexterity though. It's only good for reaching around corners. =^..^=
