Steps:

I'm getting the 30% reduction in TP cost of Waltzes from Contradance Effect Job Point category whether or not I have contradance activated.

At 500 TP, a Curing Waltz III leaves me with 150 TP. 150TP being 30% of 500TP.
At 1412 TP, a Divine Waltz II leaves me with 852 TP. 1412 - 852 = 560 TP spent on 800 TP Divine Waltz II, so I'm getting the 30% saving there, too.

Same for all the other waltzes. They're all costing 30% less even without Contradance active.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding the wording of the category, I should on get the 30% savings while the JA Contradance is in effect.

Why would you report that?....

Because it's a bug, it's not supposed to be that way, and to continue to use it knowing that I'd be exploiting a flaw is something I can't do.

In case you need further elucidation, I'm the kind of person who obeys the speed limit even when there's no one around.

Wow I didn't even notice o_o
Sure it sucks a bit that it was an exploit but I'm glad you reported it.

As a programmer I know well enough that even harmless-looking bugs can potentially ruin other aspects of your program.
So they must be solved.

Thanks for reporting this potential issue.

In regards to dancer's job point Contradance effect up, after further investigation, we have confirmed this is indeed a bug and we’re currently working to address it.
