I'm curious, is the little jog just before it gets to the road supposed to be a speed deterrent, to dissuade people from just darting out into the street? I've seen that on a number of other rail trails and I've always wondered about it.

Yes, precisely this. It was brought up during the initial engineering outreach at the 25% design and they stated "We have learned since building the Minutemen how to design for speed and safety."
The Minutemen is a joy to ride because it doesn't have anything like this, of course, but it's also why there are more high speed (relatively) crashes both with cyclists and vehicles at street crossings.
