I was so excited about this post, I took my cover plate off my recent
HD-purchased Leviton lighted switch... only to find that there is no
jumper. Hmmm, I guess I got the cheapy brand. I too wish my lighted
switch would light when the light is on, not off. Seems backwards to
me.

They're that way so you can see the switch in a darkened room (so you
can turn the lights on, at which point there is no longer a need for
the switch being lit). Another reason is that there's no need to
connect the switch to neutral for it to work (leakage through the
load is enough).
