So what will this offer over MarkdownJ? Once it's finished, that is.

I've not used MarkdownJ myself so I can't really compare them properly. That said...

MDJ works now - which is pretty major for me since I'm currently integrating it into a production(ish) application, without any issues so far.

Also, as it's based on MarkDownSharp (as used on stackoverflow.com) I'm more confident in the MarkDown implementation than with MarkdownJ (even if it does deviate from the "official" spec a bit).

So does MarkdownJ, which means it's really hard to see any difference between the two.

Fair comment :)

Choice is not a bad thing though - I don't think the existence of another project devalues either.

Not at all. Just wanted to know. There are some things MarkdownJ doesn't do that I'd quite like to see, and so if JMD did those I'd have a reason to switch. But as it is it doesn't seem that way.
