They increased the duration of Spectral Jig to always be 3 minutes, so the No Gear test works out exactly between when it was used and when it wears off. You'll notice two things if you scan down the list though:
1) There appears to be a +50% duration cap
2) The time between when you get your last warning and when it actually wears off is (as any mage could tell you) random. This is because SE seems to be sending "it's going to wear off soon" warnings on tocks. They're always 10 seconds apart and appear to be consistent within a zone. So any time you've gotten an "instant" wears off message -> wears off, you have SE to thank. They're too lazy to send packets when the warnings should occur and just push it into their outgoing tock packets, so you get either between 0 and 9 seconds after the last message or between 1 and 10 seconds.
And then I checked Chocobo Jig II:
Code
Etoile +2 legs: 43:25 to 46:06 (2 minutes and 41 seconds) +89/256 Maxixi +1 feet: 53:55 to 56:43 (2 minutes and 48 seconds) +40% Full Gear: 39:38 to 42:38 (3 minutes) No Gear: 49:27 to 51:27 (2 minutes, as expected)
So yeah, there's a +50% duration cap now and we almost cap with one piece of gear (but not quite). Thanks SE. Now do I carry around AF2+2 legs or not?
