No one is for sure why the jags have this "tick". It is believed to be similar to the spider ball. Both have a lethal super and the het (ie. jag and spider) is a carrier.
I will add that not all jags exhibit this behavior. It has been concluded that it can be brought on by stress (ie. chemicals, high heat, combatting).
I am not sure where you think that jag owners are doing something intentionally to produce bobble-head jags. Read above.
