ya...thats just something you have to live with. i switch back and forth from a roller furling jib to the battented jib depending on wind conditions. but one thing that will help if you don't already have them, are the little black plastic halyard clips that rivet to the mast and hold the halyard lines in place. then (even in light air) when you're going through your tack, let the jib backwind for just a couple seconds longer than usual, till the main is really full, and if you let the jib sheet out fast enough you should have no problem popping all the battens over.
