In what sense was Nikki Haley not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at the moment she was born?

Whenever people bring up "subject to the jurisdiction" line, they are pretty much invoking the 14th amendment.

The 14th amendment did not change Presidential eligibility requirements.

Was she a "natural born citizen" by the standards of 1787? No. 14th amendment doesn't count towards presidential eligibility.

YES, Nikki Haley is a natural born citizen by the standards of 1787. George Washington was not a natural born citizen by the standards of 1787 or any other time.

The standard did not change. 14A put it beyond the power of Congress to limit what native born children were born citizens of the United States.
