IIRC it is so bad with jackals because Adom calculates the uber-effect
based
on the creation propability of a monster. However this means just the
propability of a monster being created on a certain level - no wilderness
encounters and summoners are taken into account. Thus this game feature is
far more often perceived with summoned monsters that normally appear quite
rare in dungeons just like jackals.
