I'm afraid you're right, '-j' seems to be utterly broken...
As far as I can tell it used to work fine, but I haven't used it myself 
for quite some time, and something seems to have changed in the 
meantime. I'll try to fix it soon and let you know when I have a 
solution.

What do you mean by 'it doesn't affect jack transport'? klick's job as 
timebase master is to tell other clients what the current tempo and 
position in the timeline is.
klick does not actually start transport rolling, and it doesn't by 
itself change the position in the timeline. To do that, you can use for 
example QjackCtl, or jack_transport on the command line.
