Fuel Jettison 744 With FLAPS DRIVE EICAS

Can you Jettison Fuel if you have a FLAPS DRIVE EICAS, with leading edge or trailing edge Flaps "failed" between 1 and 5?

Most manuals state that you can't if in transit, as the airflow changes significantly due to Leading edge group 1 retracting (or extending) and therefore running the risk of fuel contacting the trailing edge of the wing.

What if they are just stuck and not in transit?

Any thoughts, experiences?
