I found that the ACharacterhas a field bWasJumping that gets set for a frame AFTER the jump starts, and can successfully be used to trigger jumping animations or otherwise distinguish jumps from other falling sub-states.

// Assuming `ACharacter* Character` is defined somewhere...

bool UMyClass::IsJumping() const
{
    if (Character != nullptr) {
	    return Character->bWasJumping;
    }
    return false;
}
