jagwire cables not compatible with 105 caliper?

I'm pretty certain that 105 are not meant to have the metal ferrule going into the adjuster on the callipers - the cable outer should just slot in by itself.
Take a look at this - it should explain it better than me: http://mpora.com/videos/AAdp2azv3tmg0 -

That's right you have to carefully remove the metal ferrule. I fitted 105's to my bike and that's the only way to get the outer cable slotted in properly.0 -
cheers for that0

If there's no metal/plastic (rigid) ferrule on the end of the outer, what stops it deforming when the brakes are applied and thus loseing braking efficiency?0

the caliper itself has a metal ferrule of sorts which is part of the adjuster

The supporting structure in the brake cable housing is a short pitch wound spiral, so it doesn't tend to open up under braking. There would need to be a tensile load on the cable housing to cause it to do that.- - - - - - - - - -
