Thanks for posting this issue, I also recently saw this. The cause appears to be that the TaskExecutor's queryable state proxy knows only about jobs that are using slot(s) from that executor.
Note FLINK-10117 calls for queryable state to be exposed via the REST endpoint, which may indirectly address this issue.
