I've had a shower thought as well... what's the easiest way to get Will to forget about the girl he thinks he loves and clear off into the availability of true singledom? Discredit Elizabeth!
Because, considering the ending, Will obviously doesn't consider that kiss Jack's fault. He's still prepared to try and rescue Jack. And, besides, he knows only too well that Jack is opportunistic in that way, that he will pretty much do anything. Also, he may believe that Jack is totally unaware of whatever feelings he may have brewing towards him.
Jack, as you point out, never really has a very direct way of going about things. He's more of an abstract thinker, with very complex plans, but definitely aware of the big picture at all times. The reason I think he's secretive is that he wants people to have true reactions, so that it's easier for him to manipulate the expected consequences into the right conclusion for all.
So, he certainly wouldn't be above a little provocation of Elizabeth, using himself and his piracy as bait, in order to snare Will in the long run.
