Yes, of course it is possible. He could reject it for a thousand reasons

that he is also not supposed to consider, but you can't worry about

that. In general Yahoo has been pretty fair about new technology.

I would expect the typical Yahoo reviewer would be unaware of a jump

page (as most visitors will be) unless there is a stall in web

connection right at the moment they are being redirected or your site is

extraordinarily slow at the time so that he has time to look around.

Yahoo looks for content not method. Robots do the same but are more

limited in their methods and what they can perceive than us, lowly human

beings.
