Do you mean: Excluding "jerks" from CEV does not guarantee that their destructive preferences will not be included?

If so, I totally do not agree with you

Through me, my dog is included. All the more so mothers' sons!

an understanding that where a direct conflict exist between EV of a minority and EV of a majority, it is the EV of a majority that will prevail in the CEV.

I don't think this is true, the safeguard that's safe is to shut down if a conflict exists. That way, either things are simply better or no worse; judging between cases when each case has some advantages over the other is tricky.
