Jackstall does not make the controls 'rigid' you can still move them. (350D) It was discussed in the RFM. We used to demonstrate in training. It felt a little like a hyd. failure on a 206 until you recovered from the condition.
Perhaps someone with access to an AS350D RFM will be kind enough as to post the actual reference.
As an aside we had a new Astar pilot trucking along at max cruise who pushed the hyd. cut off on the 350D collective..He said it got really interesting as the beast pitched up and banked right in a most startling manner.
