I use Jed Version: 0.99.19 on Linux (as xjed and in a console). However,
I use it with many of the extensions from jedmodes.sf.net (on Debian
available in the jed-extra package). reload_buffer() is defined in
bufutils.sl (http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/mode/bufutils/)

In my local setup file, I define

define gm_load_popup_hook(menubar)
{
   menu_insert_item("Save &Buffers", "Global.&File", "Re&load", "reload_buffer");
 % ...
}

and this works since years.
Caveat: reloading deletes the undo/redo buffer.
