It's been a long time since I sat through the CotBP commentary reel with Gore and Depp, but I'm fairly sure they mentioned the entire pitch of Jack's character bloomed from the notion that he was the laziest pirate in the Caribbean.
The bulk of Jack's actions towards Elizabeth [whether in CotBP or DMC] can be summed up simply. Jack gets jollies from adding more myth and legend to the fame of his name. As the modern day equivalent of a rock star, there's no such thing as bad publicity. The only thing a narcissist loves more than attention is themselves.
Still, I rather think Disney was trying to het-Jack-up, as in the aforementioned reel Disney claimed they could roast weenies over Sparrow's homosexuality [so much pun intended].
