I agree, a little titebond applied with a toothpick or such and=
 you have a good repair.  I wouldn't have a problem with a drop=
 of CA to all the rest to help solidify them for the time=
 being...

Cy asked: " why are those jacks made in two pieces to begin with?=
  Is it just so they can fail in a repairable way if regulation=
 is off (too much aftertouch)?"
 
Cy,
Being the maker of obsolete action parts, I can say the Jack is=
 the most difficult item to make. (just close your eyes and try=
 to imagine how that configuration is cut!) It's made that way,=
 because it's better, IMO
BTW, I hope you are prepared to replace those jacks, as in fairly=
 soon, as CA doesn't last very well in Stress applications.=
 Please don't do that anymore. I don't care if it is in some PTG=
 manual.....it's a bad way to repair something like that!=
 Especially in a high end piano! Yikes!
