I think, Jenny’s conclusion is not supported by her own text. As she writes:

I agree. She gives the 1988 C-14 test the benefit of every doubt due to an over abundance of caution. I disagree. Falsification is falsification. It’s like being only a little bit pregnant. You are or you aren’t. When that failure of the Chi-squared tests cannot show conclusively that the sub-samples which were cut from the same master sample were not homogenous to each other, then there is no conclusive evidence that the master sample can be assumed to be homogenous with the Shroud itself. That alone throws the dating of the Shroud into doubt.

Ergo, Jenny’s conclusion that the C-14 dating must be considered as “still valid” is wrong.
