I don't believe so.

The jump is a red herring here.  The function breaks even without
escaping continuations:

(mymap (lambda (x y) (+ x y)) '(1 2 . 3) '(1 . 2)))

I believe the problem is in has-at-least-as-many-cons-as.  In
particular, you don't use the min argument except to decrement it at
each recursion, so the function returns true just when list? would.

Since there is rarely a chance to get so say this sort of thing, I'll
take my opportunity now:  Matthias, use the recipe.
