i really don't think that kiss is going to go much of anywhere.
you said in your original post that the two of them are far too alike for something like a (semi? quasi?) successful relationship to work -- and i think the key to the whole thing is far too alike.
we discovered in the first film that Lizzie was just about ready to do just about anything to get Will back; i think it's in one of fabu's fics that Anamaria says Elizabeth would have lain with a monkey to save Turner, and whereas i'm rather loath to quote fanfiction when it doesn't mean a thing in the scheme of pure canon, i do think that statement is entirely correct.
or (a more canonically sound example) is the 'peas in a pod' deleted scene, where Jack comments on how they're both willing to do whatever is necessary. that's what i think we have to keep in mind.
of course, this does not mean Jack will take his own observations to heart. man's a diehard opportunist, not to mention an arrogant egomaniac and womaniser; if he seriously thought there was something going on between them, viz. the ever-famous 'it never would have worked between us, darling' line, and if he continues to believe that he seriously has a chance to get off with young Turner's lovely fiancee, then not only will he undoubtedly take a stab at doing so (all swishy and self-confident-like), but he's going to give Liz the perfect opportunity to get what she wants, which i sincerely believe has nothing to do with Piratey Nether Regions and everything to do with walking all over Jack Sparrow.
