I imagine the chart creator doesn't want to add this value themselves to make a 'true' DA because they value to be added really varies depending on the aircraft - momentum suggests that a C150 going around is unlikely to lose the same altitude as an A380.
It appears that Jeppesen changed the way they treat DA and MDA. See below:
