Fair point, but somewhere in the Stata universe there is also an
anti-Allan who would regard it as a bug if data points were jittered
to outside the plot region.
You would probably enjoy arguing with him (or probably her).

It seems that coincident points at the top-right limit of the plotted area are not jittered. Here's a little, real, dataset and two examples to compare. Point at (5 50.2) are not jittered in the first plot.
